The Door County Historical Society will take you beneath the surface of the peninsula during its next Dine & Discover program, featuring a presentation on Door County's caves by local author and naturalist Gary Soule.
The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, July 20, at the Institute Saloon. You will enjoy a family-style dinner followed by Soule's presentation, "Exploring Door County Caves."
Soule will discuss the natural history, geology and folklore surrounding Door County's cave systems, from sea caves carved into the Niagara Escarpment to lesser-known inland formations. The presentation will feature stories, photographs and firsthand accounts from his decades exploring Wisconsin's landscapes.
"Many people have seen Door County's cliffs and beauty from the water or the shoreline, but few realize the incredible stories hidden within the caves themselves, and what is hidden beneath this rock we live on." said Amy Frank, executive director of the Door County Historical Society. "Gary is a Door County lifelong resident and his passion for the outdoors and his extensive knowledge makes this a program you won't want to miss."
The Dine & Discover series pairs dinner with presentations highlighting Door County's history, culture and natural heritage while providing opportunities for community members to learn from local experts.
The cost is $35 for Door County Historical Society members and $40 for nonmembers. The registration fee includes dinner and the presentation. Advance reservations are required.
