DCHS 2023 Volunteer of the Year

At the 2023 Annual Meeting, held on November 27, 2023, the first annual DCHS Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to Charles Baum, a member of the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse Committee.

A brief excerpt from Instructions to Light Keepers item 8: “In all cases where keepers are able to make repairs they are expected to do the work themselves. All the mechanical skill of a keeper should be exercised in keeping his station in good order.”

The following was written by Ed and Sandy Miller about Chuck:

“He is the EBLS modern day keeper. As an engineer he has the skills and experience to do work at the lighthouse to improve conditions and keep it from falling into disrepair. For instance, the two upper tower windows were in really bad shape. Chuck installed new windows that resemble the original windows, and the upper window even opens to allow for ventilation. The long-term solution to electricity needs at the lighthouse is to get power from the power grid. Chuck’s efforts working with Wisconsin Public Service Corporation looks like that will soon be a reality. A major accomplishment and really important for the long-term restoration plan and stability of the restored lighthouse. As a volunteer docent Chuck engages visitors in a friendly and knowledgeable manner. They leave having learned much about EBLS great history.”

John Swanson adds:

“Chuck has single handedly identified dozens of repair projects that have helped with the security and stabilization of the lighthouse pending complete rehabilitation. He took the lead in setting up the multiple contacts for establishing electric power ultimately at the lighthouse. He set up the improved connectivity with the internet and power source with the Jackery allowing reliable use for records and credit card sales. In the off season, he hikes up through the

snow-covered roads to do security checks. The EBLH is a special place because of Chuck.”

Linda Faust comments:

“Chuck Baum is the best gift Eagle Bluff has ever received. His knowledge and expertise will lead the lighthouse committee as they begin to pursue the stabilization and restoration of Eagle Bluff.”

Mary Stephenson says:

“Chuck is always ready to help and does so with a smile on his face. If you mention something that needs doing in front of him, it gets fixed before you know it. The bench by the table at EBLH smacked so many knees, until it met its match in Chuck.”

Lighthouse Committee Chair Ann Sheridan summed it all up by saying, “Chuck does all (the above) with a smile. It’s a well-deserved award.”

Amy Frank, Executive Director, presented Charles Baum with the Volunteer of the Year Award at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

What’s Happening at Eagle Bluff Light Station

The Lighthouse Committee and Structures Subcommittee have been working diligently on several exciting projects at Eagle Bluff.

Restoration

In 2019, the DCHS commissioned a detailed Historic Structure Report (HSR) of the light station, providing a roadmap for restoring the existing structures. The first stage of restoration is immediate stabilization. This involves restoration of the lantern room, repair and painting of windows, doors and trim, brick replacement and repair, foundation repair & cleaning, tower interior repair, cleaning & painting, spiral stair repair, wall repair in the house and basement, some exterior ground work, and a variety of other tasks.

We have contracted with National Restoration, Inc. of Milford, Michigan, to perform the restoration. The 2021 Recipient of the Governor’s Award for Historic Preservation, John Fletcher and his team have restored 25% of the lighthouses in Michigan; several of these which are considered “sister” lighthouses to Eagle Bluff. We plan to start this restoration in mid-April of this year.

Electricity

Did you know that there has never been electricity at the lighthouse? Last season we used a small solarrechargeable power supply, which powered our iPhone, iPad, credit card device, and internet connection, along with lighting in the gift shop and basement. Our goal is to have electricity throughout the lighthouse to brighten cloudy days and also for future environmental control.

We are currently working with Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) to provide electric service to the lighthouse, and a local electrician to wire the inside of the lighthouse.

The WPS portion will be buried underground from the

Weborg Campground to the lighthouse and is expected to cost about $140,000. Even though we do not receive any financial assistance from the state, we still must collaborate with Peninsula State Park, WI DNR, the State Historic Preservation Office, and WPS. We are hopeful that our dream of bringing electricity to the lighthouse will become a reality early this summer.

Barn and Summer Kitchen

History tells us that during the time period the Duclon family was in residence at the lighthouse, there was a small barn and summer kitchen on site. Another goal of the committee is to rebuild this barn and summer kitchen.

The barn will become our visitor center and gift shop, which will enable us to properly interpret the current gift shop as the winter kitchen. Adding the barn will give us a larger visitor area, as well as a variety of displays to allow those unable to enter the lighthouse to experience and learn about maritime history. We have contracted with an architect and are waiting for complete plans, as well as DNR approval.

Welcome New Board Members

The Door County Historical Society is excited to announce the following people have joined our board of directors. Please welcome them!

Carly Sarkis-Baranczyk joined the board in 2023. She is a born and raised Door County native. She graduated from Sturgeon Bay High School in 2013 and pursued a degree in Hospitality Management from DePaul University in Chicago, IL. Carly moved back to Sturgeon Bay in 2019 to work in local event management. She currently works in the hospitality & tourism industry and co-owns Sarkis & Associates Realtors with her husband, Ben. In her free time, Carly enjoys doing the Sturgeon Bay bridge walk with her dogs, Arnie & Freddie, visiting local farmers markets, and exploring Door County's hidden gems.

Myles Dannhausen, a versatile figure with a rich history of service and entrepreneurship, began his journey with a BS in History from Loyola University in 1964. His commitment to service led him to the US Peace Corps in Sierra Leone from 1964 to 1966, followed by an MA in Urban Studies from Loyola University in 1968. His career path took him through various roles, including Community Planner at a Chicago engineering firm and Community Program Director at the City of Chicago's Office of the Mayor. In 1973, he transitioned to entrepreneurship, owning Stagecoach Junction in Egg Harbor until 1983, specializing in sporting goods and marina services. His dedication to his community continued through roles such as bus driver and custodian at Gibraltar Schools. Presently, Myles serves as President of the Egg Harbor Historical Society, Supervisor of the Town of Egg Harbor, and Commissioner of the Door County

Tourism Zone, reflecting his enduring commitment to his roots and community development.

Julia Meyers moved to Sturgeon Bay at the age of 13 with her family and has lived in a number of communities with her husband, Bill. They returned to Sturgeon Bay in 2015 to be closer to family and enjoy beautiful Door County. Julia has worked in a variety of industries and is currently a Senior Project Manager for Bellin Health in Green Bay. She has volunteered with the Door County Historical Society, Friends of Potawatomi State Park, Crossroads at Big Creek, and Friends of Old World Wisconsin. She also served on the board of directors for Old World Wisconsin for four years. Julia and Bill enjoy volunteering for Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin by supporting fundraising events, fostering, and adopting.

Mark Moeller has been deeply intertwined with Door County's history since his teenage years. In 1972, at just 13 years old, he began his journey at the Door County Historical Museum after being invited by curator Ottis, who happened to be a friend of his grandfather. This marked the start of a lifelong dedication to preserving the region's heritage. Mark joined the Historical Society at 14 and became a life member the following year. Over the years, he has made significant contributions to both the society and the community, including serving on the DC Board of Supervisors. Mark, who celebrated his 30th wedding anniversary recently, has also played vital roles as treasurer and chair of the lighthouse committee within the Historical Society Board. His commitment to preserving Door County's past is unwavering.

Member Profile: Margaret Gilbert

The Door County Historical Society would not exist without volunteers and members.

Margaret Gilbert was chosen to be the highlighted member for this newsletter. About 19 years ago I met Margaret when she bought some Girl Scout cookies from my daughter.

She was born in 1931 in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, as Margaret Weidman. The Weidman family moved to a farm in Sevastopol when Margaret was just five years old. Margaret has worn many hats over her 90+ years; teacher, farmer/bookkeeper, mother/wife, mink rancher, and artist.

drowning death of a young daughter were all tragic episodes that Margaret endured.

Margaret has traveled the world: Italy (where her son Bill retired), Russia, China, England, Germany and Switzerland are a few countries overseas that Margaret has explored.

So, what does she have to say about the Door County Historical Society? Back in August of 1996, Margaret joined the DCHS as a life member at the extravagant price of $50 (See membership card below.) Initially, she helped Lillian Lidral and Alice Sautebin make name tags for dinners. Back then, George Evenson was the president of the group. She volunteered at Heritage Village, wearing the hats and aprons made for the volunteers to wear. Different buildings were added to the collection at Heritage Village since Margaret joined: Vignes Schoolhouse, the Chapel, the Peterson Granary, and the Madden Tool Museum.

“I taught at Sugar Creek School near Brussels, Wilson School on County S, and a half year at West Jacksonport,” she said. Then in 1954, she married a local farmer, Bruce Gilbert. The two started farming on Brauer Road and had children, ten in all! After Bruce passed in 1996, Margaret took painting lessons to revive a skill she had developed earlier in life. She sells paintings and cards at The Pearl and through the DCHS at the Heritage Village and Eagle Bluff Lighthouse. (Author’s note: I purchased a lovely, farmed watercolor to add to my bovine art collection.)

“Seven of my children live within 2 ½ miles of me,” Margaret told me with pride. Sons Tim and Ron, along with Tim’s sons, Wade and Ryan, now run the Gilbert Farm. During our conversation on a rainy Monday, she also told me of the hardships she faced. Barn fires, a house fire, loss of their mink offspring, and the

“We are all living history,” Margaret added. There were seven farms on the road she now lives on, but there are no working farms on the road now. The DCHS will always be there to keep track of local history. Margaret did tell me that the Gilbert Farm will become a sesquicentennial farm in four years. That will be a time to celebrate!
