Door County is moving forward on plans for a new museum and to repurpose the location of the existing archive. The county purchased the former Younkers store on 4th Avenue in Sturgeon Bay early this year to create a museum and store county records. Door County Administrator Ken Pabich says some designs for the new museum are being drawn up while other county agencies are looking to reuse the current archives site on Michigan Street.
Pabich says if a new user cannot be found for the current archives building it will be demolished and the land retained for future county use.
