Board of Curators' Exhibit Award Winner for 2020


The Wisconsin Historical Society presented Hearthstone Historic House Museum with its Board of Curators’ Exhibit Award for 2020 for its exhibit entitled Kitty’s Wedding: You’re Invited - the 130th Anniversary of Kitty Rogers’ Wedding. The award recognizes the exhibit as the best exhibit in the State.

Truly immersive in nature, the exhibit, which ran from September 1 to September 20, 2019, recreated the wedding reception of Kitty Rogers which was held at Hearthstone on September 4, 1889. The grandeur of the lavish surroundings are revisited in an on-line retrospective that captures the essence of this marvelous exhibit.
