Horrors of the Household


  • Hearthstone Historic House Museum 625 W. Prospect Avenue Appleton, WI 54911 USA (map)

As beautiful as they were, Victorian homes could be deadly. There were perils lurking in every room, from the clothing and cosmetics to the wallpaper and the plumbing.

Back by popular demand, this sold-out tour for the last three years is led by Hearthstone’s Executive Director George Schroeder. The 90-minute tour (one at 11 am and one at 2 pm each day) follows a day in the life of Henry and Cremora Rogers as they move through their home and encounter hidden dangers at every turn. The tour is alternatingly horrible and hilarious as guests wonder… “What were they thinking!?”

Tickets will be available exclusively on-one on the museum website. Please note that tickets sell out quickly.
