Hearthstone Historic House Museum announces its exhibit for 2020 entitled Hearthstone: America’s Electrical National Treasure and a companion book by the same title.
As the only building still standing from the dawn of the electrical age, Hearthstone contains an singular collection of original fixtures, switches, and other electrical artifacts. The exhibit will run from February 13 to September 27, 2020.
The exhibit is based on the work of Robin and Joan Rolfs, historians and exhibit curators at Hearthstone, who have written a number of books and articles on topics related to Thomas Edison and electricity. Their newest book, also entitled Hearthstone: America’s Electrical National Treasure, not only covers the electrical features of the museum, it provides detailed insight into the people and events that led to the electrification of Appleton and America.
