A century ago, a small group of citizens met at the Courthouse and made a bold decision—to protect Door County’s history before it was lost to time. Because of them, our stories and places still live on today.
Now, it’s our turn.
As we celebrate 100 years, we’re launching a Centennial Campaign to raise $100,000—an investment in preserving our historic sites, strengthening our collections, and expanding educational programs for the next generation.
Be Part of It
We’re inviting supporters to step forward at every level:
- Century Leaders – $10,000
- Legacy Circle – $5,000
- Founding Members – $1,000
Our goal is to secure our first 25 Founding Members by May 15 and reach all 100 by September 1.
You can also take part with a $100 Centennial Gift—a meaningful way to honor one year of our first century.
Why It Matters
Every gift helps preserve Door County’s history and ensures it remains vibrant, accessible, and meaningful for generations to come.
A 100th anniversary only comes once. The next 100 years begin with us.
👉 Give by May 15 to help build momentum
👉 Give by September 1 to be recognized in this historic milestone
P.S. We’ll announce our first 25 Founding Members shortly after May 15—we hope you’re one of them.
