Back Roads Tour

Here’s Opportunity to Visit Where Tom and Henry Used to Hang Out
Back Roads Tour to Edison and Ford Winter Estates
Fort Myers
There’s a lot to see when you visit the Edison and Ford winter estates besides the two historic homes: a car exhibit; gardens; laboratory; museum; Edison’s study; extensive exhibits on Edison’s various patents and his search to make rubber, and, also a plant nursery.
A guided group tour is $30 per person (paid through Clubreg) and is limited to 30 people, the maximum the venue allows on one tour. (With a minimum of 20 participants we will have our own historian to guide us.) Plans are in the works for a group lunch following the tour after which you can return to the grounds should you choose – your tour ticket gives you day-long access, or head home on your own.
We will drive to Fort Myers on back roads starting from Lakewood Ranch (SR 70 east of Bradenton). The 86 mile drive will take about 2 hours. Exact starting location will be e-mailed to participants before July 20.
