The wait has been well worth it for Door County Granary supporters, and they hope that you join the thousands who have already experienced it. After a soft opening last fall, the Door County Granary held its grand opening in May. Exhibits on the wall tell the story of the Door County Granary, from when it was the Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator to when it criss-crossed the water, biding time for its permanent resting place. It has been what Door County Granary Events and Facilities Manager Kelly Catarozoli envisioned the facility could be over the last decade if they could get preservation efforts across the finish line. Sitting next to the Door County Maritime Museum and along the city's west waterfront, she believes the Door County Granary will be a true community asset.

Catarozoli says fundraising is underway for the second phase of its restoration efforts for the former grain elevator which, when completed, will bring people to the headhouse. It will allow people not just to get another view of the city, but give visitors a closer look at how the building's 19 grain bins worked when it was an operational granary.
