River, is one of the greatest historic treasures within Lee County. In
1885, Thomas Edison first visited Florida. He purchased property along
the Caloosahatchee River and built a vacation home. The vernacular structure,
completed in 1886 and dubbed "Seminole lodge" by the Edisons,
served as a winter retreat and work place for the prolific inventor until
his death in 1931.
