Saturday tour

Post by Dropacent » Tue Jun 29, 2021 2:19 pm

The Northcoast Bunps and Grinds ( a MTFCA chapter) met up at one of our local orchards. Burnham’s treated us like royalty where we enjoyed coffee and doughnuts. A short drive to the village of Milan, in Erie county. A real short tour around the small neighborhood, we then parked on the square, where some small town shopping was accomplished. Lunch at Jim’s Pizza Box, where Big Jim and staff treated us very well. Following the lunch a very short drive East ( half block) where we had a great tour of the renowned Edison birthplace. The only national Museum site still owned by descendants of TA Edison. The docents, Mrs, Wolf and tour guide Eve did a great job. Ice cream followed before we headed to our respective livery’s.

Kudos to our tour guide, miss Eve. Shown here explaining how the folding pole ladder works.

Did you stop across the street from the Edison's birth place? Some really neat cars are in that old Victorian home!
