Business Description

Located in Edgerton, Wisconsin, the Sterling North Boyhood Home is a historical landmark and museum that takes visitors on a journey to a simpler time. The home was built in 1894 and has been restored to its 1917 setting when Sterling North, a beloved author, lived there with his pet raccoon named Rascal. Visitors from all over the country enjoy coming to the home/museum and stepping into the setting of the story.

The Sterling North home/museum has been visited by many people from all over the world since it opened its doors in 1997. Sterling North's autobiography, Rascal, was translated into 26 different languages and was made into a cartoon in Japan, so it's no surprise that people travel from far and wide to visit the museum.

The children of the community felt that it was important to have the house become a museum. They contributed pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters and encouraged adults to contribute as well. The house was purchased and needed major renovation to restore it to the 1917 setting. Furnishings of the time period including an ice box, Hoosier cupboard, wood-burning cook stove, fainting couch and more can be seen in the home.

The home/museum has many interesting artifacts including some that belonged to Sterling North himself. Visitors will be able to see the original manuscript for Rascal, as well as letters and other writings by the author. The home is a testament to the life and legacy of a man who loved nature and the outdoors, and who shared his passion with the world through his writing.

While in Edgerton, visitors can also see other sites from the story including Saunders Creek, Lake Koshkonong and Indianford. The Sterling North Boyhood Home is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves history, literature, and the great outdoors. Whether you're a fan of Rascal or just looking for a unique and educational experience, the Sterling North Boyhood Home is sure to be a highlight of your visit to Edgerton.
