Review:
Formerly known as the Henry J. Rogers House, the Hearthstone Historic House Museum is an extraordinary home that has been converted to a museum to preserve the artifacts that have accumulated there over the years. Tours of the museum allow visitors to get up close and personal with the original Thomas Edison light fixtures and the Hydro Adventure Center, which has an operating model of one of the first central hydroelectric stations. The light fixtures were significant in the town’s history as it was one of the first recorded instances of electric light superseding the use of gas for illumination. Visitors will be able to learn all sorts of fun facts after spending a day at the museum.
