Edison and Christmas Lights

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

$15.00

Only three months after Hearthstone was the first house in the world to be lit with hydroelectricity using the Edison system, the magic of Christmas lights was born.

Presented by Edison experts Robin & Joan Rolfs and Scott Malawski, authors of Edison and Christmas Tree Lights, this truly magical tour will highlight the evolution of Christmas lighting from this beginning, with just 80 miniature hand-blown bulbs, to the holiday staple, and giant industry, that it is today.

Following the 60 minute presentation, guests will tour of the Christmas light exhibit. The beautifully decorated rooms of Hearthstone will put everyone in the Christmas spirit.
