The Men behind the Mansions
When Thomas Edison first purchased his Fort Myers winter home in 1885 he was
well aware of its picturesque potential. Henry Ford and his wife began visiting
the Edison's in 1896, spending more than 15 winters soaking up sun in Southern
Florida. Edison finally convinced Ford to purchase his own winter home in 1916.
The two continued to vacation in Fort Myers until their deaths. Edison credited
his amazing productivity to the time he spent in Fort Myers, stating that the
quiet countryside helped him concentrate. Ford also made some of his most
important vehicular discoveries in Fort Myers, creating what would quickly
become one of the world's largest automotive manufacturers. Today, the homes
stand as icons of productivity and creativity, forever linked to two of the
nation's most prolific thinkers. Items currently on display at the Edison and
Ford Winter Homes include the original Model T that Ford gave Edison, more than
