Heritage Village in Sturgeon Bay comes alive with festive cheer for the Door County Historical Society’s 3rd annual Glimpse of Christmas Past. Local nonprofits are bringing their creativity to historic buildings in a friendly decorating competition, giving visitors a unique walk through the past.
This year, six buildings will be featured, each adorned with its own distinctive holiday flair. Visitors can tour the buildings every Friday and Saturday in December from 3–6 p.m. Admission is free, and guests are encouraged to vote for their favorite decorated building with a cash donation. Proceeds are shared among the participating nonprofits, supporting their work while helping the Door County Historical Society continue its mission.
On Friday, December 12, Vignes School will host a reading of A Christmas Carol. Storytime of Coming Home by Leonnette Tackenberg will be held on Saturdays, December 13 and 20, while period Christmas music will be performed by Recorders on the Door on Fridays, December 12 and 19.
Guests can warm up with hot chocolate, coffee, and cookies, with all proceeds supporting the Door County Historical Society. Donations are also welcome to help the organization grow and preserve local history.
