Minigolf gjennom byen Appleton: 18 hull, par 52

Ballen finner sitt mål ved Harry Houdinis barndomshjem i Appleton. Denne runden bruker det faktiske kartet over byen og gatene som banen, der lokale severdigheter gir den fysiske strukturen for hullene. Skip kjenner hver fortau og grøft her og vil lede veien gjennom en komplett 18-hulls runde. Turen dekker 6,2 miles og bruker 4 portaler for å bevege seg mellom fjerne bydeler. Det er en lang spasertur for en fugl, men utsikten er verdt det.

The History Museum at the Castle

The History Museum at the Castle is a museum in downtown Appleton, Wisconsin, housed in a building designed in the Tudor Revival architecture style. It is owned and operated by the Outagamie County Historical Society. Founded in 1985, the museum previously operated under the names The Outagamie Museum and The Houdini Historic Center. To recognize its impact, the institution received the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Service. You can see the distinct architectural details of the building as you approach the site.

Hearthstone Historic House Museum

Tucked into Appleton, Wisconsin, the Hearthstone Historic House Museum is a house started in 1881. Architect William Waters designed the building in the Queen Anne style, and it was previously known as the Henry J. Rogers House. It holds a special place in history because on September 30, 1882, it became the first residence in the US powered by the Edison system using a centrally located hydroelectric station. You can also find it listed on the National Register of Historic Places, where it was added on December 2, 1974. I always think the architecture looks quite grand from the street.

Fox Cities Performing Arts Center

The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is a nonprofit organization located in downtown Appleton. It is a major hub for the arts, serving as the home for several programs including the Broadway Across America – Fox Cities series and the Boldt Arts Alive! series. You can also find the Spotlight series, the Amcor Education Series, and the Viewpoint speaker series here. I've seen plenty of folks heading inside for a performance, as it is also the home of the Fox Valley Symphony. It is a spot that draws a crowd, whether for a local concert or a touring production.
