Hearthstone Historic House Museum

Hearthstone Historic House Museum is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in learning about the history of Neenah, Wisconsin. This beautifully preserved mansion was built in 1882 and was once the home of local industrialist Henry J. Rogers. Today, it stands as a testament to Neenah’s rich past and offers a unique glimpse into the lifestyle of the late 19th century.

Visitors to Hearthstone will be transported back in time as they explore the fully restored rooms and imagine what life was like for the wealthy in this era. The mansion features original furnishings, decorative art, and technological innovations that were cutting-edge for their time. From the ornate woodwork to the antique gas and electric light fixtures, every detail of the house showcases the opulence and elegance of the Victorian era.

In addition to its architectural and historical significance, Hearthstone also served as a pivotal location for the development of the hydroelectric power industry in the United States. In 1882, the mansion became the first private residence in the world to be powered by a centrally located hydroelectric plant. This innovation paved the way for the widespread adoption of electricity in homes and businesses across the country. At Hearthstone, visitors can learn about this groundbreaking achievement and its impact on modern society.
