Imagine for a second, a world void of electricity.  No lights, no refrigeration, no electric heat. None of the modern conveniences we take for granted today. Benjamin Franklin was the first person to experiment with electricity using a kite and a key.  In the late 1870’s America’s greatest inventor, Thomas Edison was able to harness that electricity and developed and built the first generating plant in New York City.  For more information on Thomas Edison’s inventions please visit Edison-Ford-Estate.com
