Display Your Invention

The Edison Inventors Association is privileged to hold monthly meetings at the renowned Edison-Ford Winter Estate in Ft. Myers. We meet within an atmosphere of invention and innovation that reflects and honors the genius of Thomas A. Edison. Club members and countless visitors are humbled, enlightened and encouraged while surrounded by endless memories of a lifetime devoted to innovative achievements benefiting the world today.

About 240,000 folks tour the Edison-Ford WinterEstate per year to enjoy the abundant grounds, gardens and inventions. The E.I.A. is likewise honored by the privilege of having two Inventor Display Cases included among those more historical accomplishments.
