The 1950s All-Electric House

This pink tinsel tree and the Krystal Glow (never get hot) Christmas lights are some of the displays at the Johnson County Museum's 1950s All Electric House. The house was used as a model home in 1954 for 6 months to demonstrate what electricity could do for your home. It has a hidden television, electric curtain openers, trendy appliances and special lighting. Cindy and I found a lot of the items displayed just looked like what we grew up with, so not really historic. We had the Krsytal Glow lights on our tree and Cindy reported that she has the strand (we only had one) and one of the bulbs still lights 60 years later.
