S3, E5 

This week on The SHORE Line, we celebrate innovation during the birthday week of Thomas Edison with a visit to the Edison Birthplace Museum in historic Milan, Ohio. Host Jill Bauer sits down with Robert Wheeler, President of the Edison Birthplace Association, to explore how the small-town upbringing of one of America’s greatest inventors shaped a lifetime of creativity and discovery. From surprising artifacts and hands-on learning to early motion picture history, the conversation also highlights the special birthday event Milan Goes to the Movies and its connection to Ohio’s storytelling efforts leading into America 250. Whether you’re a history buff, film fan, or just looking for a unique place to visit, this episode shines a light on how Ohio helped spark ideas that changed the world. Get inspired at TomEdison.org.
