Uncommon Friends is an organization founded by a young Fort Myers businessman who befriended Thomas and Mina Edison in the 1920s. The man wrote a book in 1989, "Uncommon Friends," about Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, who all lived in Fort Myers in the 1920s.
The Uncommon Friends non-profit organization was started in 1993. It is dedicated to lifelong character building among today's youth and business leaders, and the historic preservation of the James D. Newton Collection located in this historic house in downtown Fort Myers.
