Reviews of Thomas Edison Depot Museum (Museum)

Loved it

Ganesh Pawar

Nice little museum. Not a lot to look at, but it is something to do.

jayjay

If you like small local historical museums full of local information and stories, the Depot is definitely a worthwhile stop. Full of information about Thomas "Al" Edison as as teenager and his family, as well as anecdotes from the 1940s movie starring Micky Rooney as the Young Edison.

Kirstie Keith

Interesting, small and a little bit hard to find.

Rebecca Robinson

The whole time I've lived in Port Huron, I'd never been here until last weekend. I'm glad I went, I learned a lot about Edison, and how Port Huron played Hollywood for a worldwide premier.

(Translated) I think many small and even more bolgeot, air boss is kind, Edison created the phonograph also haeteum direct play so thank you. It was a good experience for the children to feel the childhood of Thomas Edison (Original) 작지만 생각보다 볼것도 많고, 관장님도 친절하시고, 에디슨이 만든 축음기도 직접틀어주셔서 너무 감사했음. 토마스 에디슨의 어린 시절을 생생히 느낄 수 있어 아이들에게 좋은 경험이었음

A tiny museum with a lot of information about Edison. The guy inside gave us a detailed intro on what to see and a little background when we went which was nice. Few of the exhibits were interactive ones and there was a short film that you can watch about the history. Overall it was a great experience.

Very informative!

Amanda Lynn

We enjoyed ourselves. Would have liked the train car to be a little more in depth, maybe more stuff to see or do, and definitely to air conditioned would be nice.

Devon Sioma (Kiloton)

Great museum with a wealth of knowledge and artifacts to see! I learned more about Thomas Edison here than I did from Greenfield village. Really a must visit if traveling to Port Huron.

Don Lee

Extremely informative but maybe a bit small for the price. Still worth a stop. Friendly staff.

Very iformed place about Thomas Adison. Everything about his life journey.

This museum is wonderful for children who enjoy inventing. We took our 9 and 10 ywar old there abd they had a blast. The gentleman who works there provides thoughtful anecdotes as you go through the exhibit and genuinely revels in peaking the interest of children in science abd discovery

Kay Lehenky

Great place to learn the history oh Thomas Edison.

Danielle Koppes

The guy there was great ! He made sure to give us as much info as he could on ole Tommy....reading all the plaques in there could not believe the person Thomas was.....a little like me. Therefore, I am genius too????....in my mind. It's a small place but a lot to learn.

Brian Cylkowski

Fun little museum

Amanda B

Fun history.

I think it's a great museum, but I think the admission is a little steep. I've taken friends to Port Huron and went to the depot and as soon as they see the cost the decide they dont want to go in even though they are history lovers as well.

La Trice R Herring

Always wonderful to learn about something in history, especially close to home. Unfortunately they've built up around the area therefore some of the historical sites aren't there. Pretty affordable visit. Nice gifts. Orator was excellent. Be sure to check hours before going

Jamie Eichenberg

Very nicely presented museum! The gentleman there shared a lot of information about Edison. I'm so glad we stopped here. Others have complained that the price is high considering the size of the museum, but I didn't mind the price and gladly paid it to keep a nice museum going.

Beth Hall

Was closed when we went mid week in September. View was wonderful.

Angelina Johnson

Loved learning some of our state's history! So much to look at that we will need to go back another time. There are fun interactive displays and things to play with!

Brian Miller

Excellent Guide and greeting. You will want to do the package deal, 4 sites. It's well worth the money and time.

Ajit Wagh

The person running the place really knows his stuff and it's fun

This was such a cute museum in Port Huron. Part of Port Huron Museums, you can visit with one pass from Carnegie Center, Huron Lightship, and the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse. There is a rail car and a lot of memoriabilia inside. If you want, you can walk across the street and have a picnic in the park. It is right underdeath the bridge that connects Port Huron, Michigan to Sarnia, Ontario.

If you are into Thomas Edison this is the place to go. Small but very informative Museum right on the river in Port Huron. We arrived a few minutes early but the staff member who was working noticed us and open the door early to let us in. He was very knowledgeable about Thomas Edison and all of the displays. We basically had our own personal tour of the place. According to the staff member they do get fairly busy on weekends and holidays but slow on the weekdays.

The host and service are both good, a place deserves a visit. We had been eagerly keen to come all the way from Chatham-Kent, till learnt about there is a Nicolas Tesla.

My girlfriend and I stopped at this museum on a whim yesterday on a beautiful no children day! We didnt expect much. We both learned so much and it was such a fantastic little museum. Dave (the emoloyee) was so knowledgeable kind and helpful. It's not a huge museum but I'd recommend you give it 45 minutes or so. We will be bringing the kids next time, for sure.

Susan Gale

A little bit of local history by the banks of a busy commercial river and an international bridge.
