Virtually all of the original manuscripts are in the Nikola Tesla
Museum in Belgrade (would that be Serbia now, or what?!).  The address
for the musuem is:
        Muzej Nikole Tesle
        Beograd
        Proleterskih brigada 51

ABSOLUTELY!  You not only would be entering Rod Serling-land, you would
be smack-dab in the middle of it.  Some Tesla groupies like to believe
in this sort of thing, but...
 
Tesla was involved in the development of the Niagara Falls Power Co.'s
first power complex in the 1890's.  I've done substantial research in
that, so if I can be of help, let me know.  (Incidentally, this was
this the world's first large scale alternating current power plant).
