Many Americans are familiar with Thomas Edison's "invention
factory" in Menlo Park, where he patented the phonograph, the light
bulb and more than one thousand other items. Yet many other ideas
have grown in the Garden State, too--New Jerseyans brought sound
and music to movies and built the very first drive-in theater. In
addition to the first cultivated blueberry, tasty treats like ice
cream cones and M&Ms are also Jersey natives. Iconic aspects of
American life, like the batting cage, catcher's mask and even
professional baseball itself, started in New Jersey. Life would be
a lot harder without the vacuum cleaner, plastic and Band-Aids, and
many important advances in medicine and surgery were also developed
here. Join author Linda Barth as she explores groundbreaking,
useful, fun and even silly inventions and their New Jersey roots.
