It's a suburban walk on sidewalk along some fairly busy roads, through the interesting town of Highland Park and older neighborhoods in Edison. The trail goes through the popular Roosevelt Park and to the new Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park with its huge monument, museum and grounds. We finish with an optional guided tour of the Thomas Edison Center. It's a quirky mixture celebrating the old and new, the industrial and post-industrial. The walk should only be about 4.5 hours and is the connecting segment between the Great Canal Walk and the The Big Walk thereafter, so that you can complete the Cross-Jersey Walking Challenge. The Kruimer Walk (previously named the Tween Walk) ends at the newly renovated Thomas Edison Center near Metro Park Station. This was the site of Edison's most famous and productive laboratory. Although the lab buildings are now gone, there remains a woodsy trail to the museum, grounds and newly restored art-deco monument to the genius he was.
