Summer on the Veranda

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

Relax in Victorian splendor while you stroll the veranda at Hearthstone with a cool drink in hand listening to performances on our 1875 square grand piano. Ladies are encouraged to wear their best Victorian hats (or their best Kentucky Derby hats… the May event is the evening before the big race after all) as beautiful hats were de rigueur for Victorian ladies. Gents can sport their own boater or bowler.

Our docents will be dressed up as well playing the roles or hostess or the Rogers’ servants as they welcome you into the home while serving complementary lemonade, iced tea, white wine, or mint juleps.

The evenings are about slowing down and the pace of life while being immersed in the lavish surroundings of our beautifully restored 1882 Queen Anne Style home.

Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended as the evenings sell out quickly.
