The 50th anniversary of Edison’s electric light was celebrated in 1929, and its highlight was a new museum at Greenfield Village, Michigan. It was a reconstruction of Edison’s invention factory! This was done by none other than Henry Ford, a great admirer and close friend of Edison.
No doubt, Edison was flattered to see a model of his workplace, and joked that the real place used to be much dirtier!
The electric light’s golden jubilee was celebrated in a grand manner, co-hosted by Ford and General Electric. It was attended by great persons like Marie Curie, Orville Wright, George Eastman, President Herbert Hoover and John Rockefeller Jr.
