Downstairs
Welcome to Heathstone
please enter the grand hall! |
Step into the parlor and see our
amazing restored ceiling.
Can you guess how many colors are in the ceiling? |
|
The dining room at Hearthsone offers a stunning
view of the Fox River! |
|
| |
|
|
The family bedrooms are on the second
floor of the museum. Three of these rooms have electroliers similar
to the ones in Edison's Florida home. |
|
|
Have fun in the Hydro-Adventure
center in the basement of the museum, ride a high-wheel bike,
generate electricity for Appleton and watch a video that tells
how people in 1882 reacted to this amazing home.
Dont't forget to stop in the gift shop and pick up a souvenir
of your visit to the first home in the world lit by a hydroelectic
central station! |

Hands-On Hydro Adventure Center
Learn
about electricity while trying these fun hands-on activities. Adults
and children alike will be captivated by their ability to generate electricity
from a water wheel.
Try using one of Edison’s
light switches, or try to generate enough electricity to make our electric
trolley model work. The Hearthstone Hydro Adventure center is a great
place for discovery for kids of any age!
