Have you ever wanted to take a piece of Door County’s history home with you? Now you can—just in time for the holidays! The Door County Historical Society (DCHS) is launching a brand-new annual Christmas ornament series, and you’re invited to start your collection with the very first edition.
A Keepsake to Treasure
Each year, DCHS will release a limited-edition glass ornament featuring a historic building that the Society has lovingly restored and preserved. These ornaments aren’t just decorations—they’re a way to celebrate the landmarks that tell the story of Door County’s past. Even better, each one will feature artwork by a talented local artist, making them a beautiful and meaningful addition to your holiday traditions.
The inaugural 2025 ornament showcases Vignes Schoolhouse, a charming one-room schoolhouse that now stands proudly at Heritage Village. Designed by well-known Door County artist Richard Lauder, this ornament captures the timeless charm of this historic building, making it the perfect first piece for your collection.
Unveiling a New Ornament Each Year
One of the best parts? This isn’t just a one-time offering. Each year, DCHS will unveil a brand-new ornament at the February Luncheon Program, turning it into an exciting annual tradition. Whether you collect them for yourself or gift them to loved ones, these ornaments will become cherished mementos of Door County’s history.
