The purchase of the former Younkers Store on 4th Avenue in Sturgeon Bay would give the Door County Historical Museum some additional room at its present location. The county is looking at the vacant store for museum and county archive storage. Museum Director Maggie Weir says having additional space next door to the museum would ease a storage crunch.
The Door County Board of Supervisors is expected to take up a resolution authorizing the $505,000 purchase when it meets in regular session at 10:00 AM, Tuesday at the County Government Center on Nebraska Street in Sturgeon Bay.
