The Door County Historical Society (DCHS) has launched a new online hub and Centennial Campaign as it marks 100 years of preserving local history and looks ahead to its next century of work.
Founded Oct. 1, 1926, the organization has grown from a small group of local historians into a nonprofit that manages historic sites, collections and educational programming across Door County, including Heritage Village and the Eagle Bluff Light Station.
The new webpage will serve as the central resource for centennial news, events and giving opportunities. It also functions as the primary portal for the organization’s fundraising effort.
The Centennial Campaign aims to support preservation projects, collections care and expanded educational programming.
“A centennial is more than a celebration, it’s a responsibility,” said Amy Frank, executive director of DCHS in a statement. “The decisions we make today will shape how our history is preserved and shared for the next 100 years.”
The organization hopes to secure its first 25 Founding Members by May 15, with recognition planned for donors at a 2026 centennial celebration. Donors will also receive commemorative items marking the milestone year.
Community members learn more through the society’s website or by calling DCHS directly.
