Be transported back in time as you walk the halls, enter the rooms and hear the stories of a 19th-Century Rock County family and their daily life. A docent provides a historical overview of the family and their home. Learn details about their most famous visitor, Abraham Lincoln, who visited in October 1859. Interact with new experiences throughout the tour that stimulate your senses and make the Tallmans come alive on a personal level!
Imagine a home illuminated by natural gas with an indoor privy, indoor running water, an intercom system and more. Imagine this classically designed Victorian home with these state-of-the-art amenities available to a homebuyer of Janesville for a mere $30,000 in gold… in 1872. Discover the many cutting-edge amenities available only in William Tallman’s Victorian mansion at that time in Janesville. The Tallman’s Technologies tour explains, in vivid detail, the many unique facets this historic Civil War era mansion incorporated. Learn how 1850s innovations changed Janesville forever.
It’s time to descend the stairs and enter the world of servant life! The Rock County Historical Society presents Help Wanted, a new tour in which visitors learn about Victorian life through the eyes of the servants. You’ll roll up your sleeves, put on an apron and join in a variety of 19th century chores and activities. If you’re a fan of “Upstairs Downstairs” or “Downton Abbey”, this is definitely the tour for you! It’s also a great family or rental activity, as it is both interactive and entertaining for all ages.
A new tour allowing you to enjoy Tallman’s masterpieces over conversation and a glass of wine! This is a very limited tour and is only offered four days out of the year!
