Learn about Edison during World War I

WEST ORANGE, NJ — Township historian Joseph Fagan will present “Thomas Edison During World War I” on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 2 p.m. at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park, 211 Main St. in West Orange. Everyone is invited to this free event. 

This event is part of the “One Book, One Town – West Orange Reads ‘Edison’” program, in which community members are encouraged to read Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edmund Morris’ new biography of Edison, which was nationally released at the Edison NHP on Oct. 27. The park is hosting a series of monthly discussions featuring various chapters of the book; Fagan’s presentation is the first such discussion.
