Door County Historical Society

The Door County Historical Society strives to collect, maintain and share the history and heritage of Door County through preservation, education and programming.

When I look ahead to our upcoming season, I am excited for the Door County Historical Society!

Our Executive Director Amy Frank has brought a new perspective to our group. We have a better focus on our mission to present and preserve history. Stop in at our office on Fourth Avenue and have a chat with Amy. Share with her your thoughts and see where you could contribute to our organization.

Our monthly dinner programs are taking shape. We have a wide variety of historic programs and some locations around the county we haven’t visited in a while. Please understand that meal costs have increased so everything is a few dollars more this year. I think you will find that our programs are worth the added cost.

At the Historic Village we will have events to appeal to all ages. Most people don’t realize it, but our buildings are valued at almost a million dollars. The Village committee is working on some

And it won’t be long and the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse will open for the season. There are opportunities to serve as paid staff or volunteer at the lighthouse. Find out how you could be part of the operation.

Amy has been busy getting foundation commitments for making lighthouse renovations. There will be more about this in the future.

Mary Stephenson has stepped down from our board to become our office manager. Carly Sarkis Baranczyk has stepped up to fill the board position.

Most recently she served as marketing and events manager for Destination Sturgeon Bay. We look forward to her input and expertise on our board. That’s all for now. I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events!
