Thanks to the staff rangers and volunteers. We brought our men's volleyball team there last weekend. Having been raised in New Jersey I thought that they would truly enjoy this experience, and none of us were disappointed. The players and coaching staff were amazed at the achievements of Thomas Edison and all those who worked with him. To change according to the Lord's pattern I highly recommend this experience for anyone from 5 years old to 500. Truly a national treasure!!!
