Your newest holiday tradition may be the first time you have noticed some of northern Door County’s oldest buildings.

This weekend marks the final days of the Door County Christkindlmarket taking place on the grounds of the Sister Bay Historical Society’s Corner of the Past Museum. Taking its cues from similar events held annually in places like Chicago and Milwaukee, the Door County Christkindlmarkt is drawing visitors from down the street and around the region alike to a place that is usually a lot quieter this time of year. Organizer John Nelson says it is introducing people to a place that they have likely driven past dozens of times since the Sister Bay Historical Society began their mission 25 years ago.

The Sister Bay Historical Society is currently fundraising so they can move a historical barn to the site. The village is even pitching up to $25,000 in matching funds to help the organization complete its restoration efforts.
