Summer on the Veranda - Relax in Victorian Style

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

Relax in Victorian splendor as you stroll the veranda at Hearthstone with a cool drink in hand while listening to performances on our 1875 square grand piano. This open-house event is about slowing down the pace of life and being immersed in the lavish surroundings of the wonderfully restored 1882 Queen Anne Style home.

Ladies are encouraged to wear their best Victorian hats. Beautiful hats were de rigueur for Victorian and Edwardian ladies. Gents can sport their own straw boater or a bowler. But if anyone does not have a hat, we would be glad to lend you one of our recreations from our collection.

Our docents will be dressed up as well playing the roles of hostesses or the Rogers’ servants as they welcome you into the home while serving complementary beverages.

Don’t feel like you need to dress up… but it does add to the fun.

Tickets include your choice of lemonade, iced tea, white wine, or classic mint juleps.

Tickets are available on this website.
