While history floats near Sturgeon Bay’s downtown bridges next weekend, you will also be able to find it in the parking lot of the Door County Maritime Museum this coming weekend.
Tall Ships Sturgeon Bay coincides with the Door County Classic and Wooden Boat Show, an event the museum has organized for the last 34 years. Vessels like canoes, kayaks, sailboats, and runabouts will be on display as a part of the show, many of them either built or restored by amateurs. The Classic and Wooden Boat Show also allows visitors to try boatbuilding themselves with the SikaFlex Challenge. Already one of the biggest events the museum puts on every year, Deputy Director Sam Perlman says having the Tall Ships in the background will hopefully introduce more people to their mission and their programming.
Similar to Tall Ship Sturgeon Bay, the Classic and Wooden Boat Show runs from August 1st to August 3rd.
