Nikola Tesla hielt im Jahr 1893 seine Vorträge über drahtlose Energieübertragung. Im Jahr 1934 übersiedelte die Einrichtung an den heutigen Standort an den Benjamin Franklin Parkway und im gleichen Jahr demonstrierte Philo Taylor Farnsworth am Franklin Institute das erste rein elektronisch arbeitende Fernsehsystem.
