Appleton is the largest city in an urban area known as the Fox Cities - 18 communities along the Fox River and Lake Winnebago. Appleton was hometown of Harry Houdini and is the location of the world's first home lighted by a central hydroelectric station, now the elegant Hearthstone Historic House Museum. The Building for Kids is one of the largest children's museums in the Midwest. In July and August the center's Butterfly House features hundreds of live Wisconsin butterflies. A bustling economy, low crime rate and bountiful recreational opportunities make Appleton a great place to live and visit.
With many fine stores for your shopping pleasure.
