Review:
The Light Dispelling Darkness statue is an unexpected and quirky thing to see in the town of Edison. Located in Roosevelt Park, the federally-commissioned piece of eccentric artwork was designed back in 1937 by Waylande Gregory and is set in the middle of a fountain. The statue was constructed from terracotta and is meant to be a nod to inventor Thomas Edison.
The name “Thomas Edison Museum ” is also meant to be both an ode to the light bulb, considered to be Edison’s greatest invention and a representation of “good triumphing over evil.” Other motifs include industry, technology, and education.
