There is sufficient parking across the street

There's parking across the street. If that is full there's also street parking

Edison's home is nearby, but not on the site of the laboratories. We were told that he walked to and from work every day. Also that he preferred to climb the stairs to the second floor rather than take the elevator. There is free parking across the street from the laboratories. But, again, I don't know about parking at the mansion.

The Park is CLOSED on Mondays & Tuesdays... OPEN Tuesday through Sunday

go to the NJ Transit website and put your starting point in. For destination use Thomas Edison National Historical Park which it will recognize as the location ((address is 211 Main Street West Orange) It will give you options for bus only or bus/train depending upon where you are starting.

Since it is not crowded, I guess they could easily take care of your luggage.

The lab is Wednesday through Sunday 10-4, Glenmont (the home) is Friday-Sunday same time. You have to get your ticket at the lab to visit the house. However, Glenmont is also closed until march 30th and will reopen after then.

Two hours for the lab and an hour for the estate. Of course you could always spend more time at the lab depending on how much you want to read. It has something of interest for everyone.
