Hearthstone Historic House Museum preserves a Queen Anne home in Appleton with an important connection to the early domestic use of hydroelectric power.

The house links Victorian design and household life with the technologies and paper-industry wealth that shaped the city.
All public interior visits are guided, so choose a tour from the museum’s current schedule before arriving. Group and school visits follow separate arrangements. Allow time to appreciate the original decorative work and the interpretation of electricity in the home, rather than viewing the property only as an architectural landmark.
