History doesn’t preserve itself—it takes people like you to keep it alive! At the Door County Historical Society, we’re passionate about sharing our community’s rich past through our historic buildings, artifacts, and educational programs. But here’s the thing: we can’t do it alone.
Last year, memberships, admissions, and program fees covered only about 65% of what it takes to run everything—from paying staff and keeping the lights on to maintaining historic buildings and creating engaging programs for the community. That means we rely on donations and sponsorships to cover the rest. Without that support, it’s tough to fulfill our mission and provide the experiences that bring history to life.


Every donation, big or small, makes a real impact. Your support helps us care for historic buildings, provide supplies for programs, and ensure future generations can connect with Door County’s past. If you love history and want to see it thrive, consider making a donation. It’s easy—just click the button below, give us a call, or stop by our office to give in person.
Thank you for being part of our story. With your help, we can keep history alive for years to come!
