Fort Myers, Florida: A timeless destination for innovators, where Thomas Edison’s arrival in the late 19th century sparked a legacy of creativity and invention that still thrives today.

His winter retreat, Seminole Lodge, became a base for invention and experimentation, where Edison worked on a wide array of projects, including developing a domestic source for natural rubber and improving local infrastructure.

Edison’s presence in Fort Myers not only contributed to the growth of the area but also attracted other forward-thinking minds, including his good friend Henry Ford. The two titans of industry would spend their winters in close proximity, further cementing Fort Myers as a place where creative minds could thrive.

It’s in Fort Myers that history repeats itself. Edison and Ford took risks—driven by their belief in the remarkable things the human mind can achieve.
