Muzeum Historycznego Domu Hearthstone

Appleton w stanie Wisconsin było jednym z pierwszych trzech miast na świecie, które zostały oświetlone przez centralną elektrownię Edisona, pozostałe dwa to Nowy Jork i Londyn. Wszystko to za sprawą Henry'ego J. Rogersa, który postanowił zainwestować w elektrownię Edisona, aby oświetlić dwie papiernie i swój dom. Odkąd stał się muzeum w 1987 roku, Hearthstone skupia się na ochronie domu i jego artefaktów, aby odtworzyć historyczne doświadczenie w oparciu o dziedzictwo Thomasa A. Edisona, z korzyścią kulturalną i edukacyjną dla publiczności poprzez liczne wystawy i programy. Oferowane są wycieczki z przewodnikiem po Hearthstone, a także możliwość poznania różnych eksponatów edukacyjnych. Wszystkie wycieczki są prowadzone przez wyszkolonych docentów, którzy omawiają historię domu, jego wyjątkowe miejsce w historii, architekturę i rodziny, które mieszkały w nim od ponad 100 lat. Eksponaty, które zobaczysz, poświęcone są Edisonowi, jego wynalazczej spuściźnie, elektryczności i historii elektrowni wodnych w Hearthstone.

Thanks for the great words. Our curators and volunteers work very hard to give an authentic experience to our guests. Everything within our walls is of the period, and the complete restoration has taken 30 years to get where we are today. We are privately-funded non-profit, and all proceeds go toward preservation and operations.

This lovely house has a lot of charm and is definitely rich in history. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out what unfamiliar items were back in that era. The woodwork and stained glass windows are gorgeous. Each room has it's own story.
