Hearthstone Parlor

What is the significance behind Appleton’s largest civic celebration being named after a German festival and what, if any, meaningful connections are there to the Oktoberfest in Munich?

Join Hearthstone’s Executive Director George Schroeder as he explores these connections and the history of Appleton as he injects some German-American themes into a community event with a German name but which is otherwise devoid of any connection to German culture and history.

The presentation is free and open to the public.
