Answer: Hewo, there! your answer is below

Thomas Edison Was thr floridian That had a Lab in Ft Myers, Florida

Step-by-step explanation:

in his middle years, Edison began to dislike winter weather in the north. He decided to try spending winters in Florida. He could afford it by then. He discovered Fort Myers and bought land in the small Gulf Coast community. In 1901, he began spending every winter there. The comings and goings of the famous man were the talk of what was then little more than a coastal village. Edison returned the community’s affection by bringing 2,000 royal palms from Cuba to plant along main thoroughfares in the city.

Edison traveled around the world collecting many kinds of plants and trees for his experiments. In the small laboratory in his Fort Myers home, Edison experimented with using plant and tree fibers as a filament for his electric lights. He also directed a search for a domestic plant that would produce rubber as insurance against the day when supplies of the natural product from abroad might be disrupted by war.

Today, visitors to Thomas Edison's laboratory can see where he conducted experiments. Many of his inventions, including his famous filament light bulbs, are located in the museum.

Hope this Helps!!!

Have a great day!!
