The Hearthstone is a large, beautifully restored Queen Anne Victorian Style home built in 1882 by Henry J. Rogers, Superintendent of the Appleton Paper and Pulp Mill.

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.

Hearthstone Historic House Museum
Appleton, Wisconsin was one of the first three cities in the world to be lit by an Edison central power station, the other two being New York and London. This was all due to Henry J. Rogers, who decided to invest in Edison’s power station in order to light two paper mills and his home. Since it became a museum in 1987, Hearthstone’s focus is to preserve the house and its artifacts to re-create a historical experience based on its Thomas A. Edison heritage for the cultural enjoyment and educational benefit of the public through its many exhibits and programs. Guided tours through Hearthstone are offered as well as a chance to explore the various educational exhibits. All tours are guided by trained docents who discuss the history of the house, its unique place in history, its architecture, and the families who have lived there for over 100 years.

So..made reservations online for 3pm Friday Nov 29th. Received confirmation email. Got there 30 minutes early,as instructed. Upon arrival,there was no one there. Waited a while. In the meantime,checked again online for info regarding confirmation. After going through website further found out it was closed for the holiday! Would've been nice to have that info as the first thing you'd see! Also,why would a reservation go through if you're closed? NOT HAPPY
