Appleton: Fox Valley Paper City and Houdini's Hometown
Appleton is the commercial hub of the Fox Cities, a cluster of communities along the Fox River between Lake Winnebago and the Bay of Green Bay. The river provided hydropower for a string of paper mills that made the valley one of the largest paper-producing regions in the world during the twentieth century. Kimberly-Clark, founded in nearby Neenah in 1872, built much of its early operation along the Fox River corridor.
Lawrence University, founded in 1847, occupies a campus overlooking the river in downtown Appleton. The university combines a liberal arts college with a conservatory of music and enrolls roughly 1,500 students. It produced notable alumni including writers, diplomats, and musicians, and it preserves the Björklunden estate on Lake Michigan in Door County as a northern campus facility.
Harry Houdini, born Ehrich Weiss in Budapest in 1874, grew up in Appleton after his family emigrated when he was a child. Although his professional career took him to New York and international stages, he identified Appleton publicly as his hometown. The History Museum at the Castle in downtown Appleton operates a permanent exhibit on Houdini's career and his connection to the city.
