The world's first fully electrified home Built in 1882, The Hearthstone Mansion is one of the most significant homes in the entire world. Located in Appleton, Wisconsin, the house was the first to ever be fully electrified, using hydroelectric power from a centrally located Edison system. The house still has original electroliers, light switches, and Edison bulbs. The interior of the home is also just generally beautiful and gives a snapshot into late 19th century Victorian splendor. | Victorian

Some things really DO stand the test of time. One of the oldest photos we have of Hearthstone is the one you see here - taken in 1887. It is a true testament to the families who have owned this property over the years - as well as Friends of Hearthstone - that so much of this home has remained the same. Since 1988, the Hearthstone has been open to the public for tours, and we’re so excited to share this piece of history with you! Book your next visit online at hearthstonemuseum.org Hearthstone H

Over 140 years ago, the Hearthstone became the first home to be illuminated using hydroelectricity. On September 30, 1882, Henry Rogers had his servants turn off all of the kerosene lamps in the house. He then signaled them to turn on the electric lights - all at once. The Appleton Post reported the next day that the Rogers Home was “bright as day”. Imagine how dim candlelight, gaslight, and lamplight had to have been to make the eight-watt bulbs appear “bright as day”! Another fun fact - they w

We would NEVER. In 1986, a group of passionate locals formed Friends of Hearthstone, Inc. to save this one-of-a-kind Victorian home. They knew this wasn’t JUST a beautiful home. It was a vital part of history - being the first residence in the world lit by a central hydroelectric station using Edison’s system. They rolled up their sleeves and began restoring each room, fixture, tile, and artifact. Today, because of them, thousands of people can step inside 1882 and experience history exactly as
