The final centennial anniversary event of the Door County Historical Society (DCHS) will celebrate orchards, and their role in shaping Door County's history, economy and identity. From blossoming cherry trees to generations of family-owned orchards, Joe Taylor, DC Musueum and Archives manager will explore this rich agricultural heritage during the Dine & Discover program on Monday, November 23, 2026. Doors at the Prince of Peace Church in Sturgeon Bay will open at 5:15pm.
The November presentation will explore the unique combination of geology, climate, immigration, and tourism that helped establish Door County as a fruit-growing destination. If you attend, you'll be introduced to some Museum artifacts, along with recently digitized vintage audio and video recordings featuring individuals who played a direct role in Door County’s fruit-growing history.
Dinner, catered by Scaturo’s, will be served at 6:00 p.m. RSVPs are requested by November 16, and may be made online at www.
The DCHS Program Committee is already planning programs for 2027 and welcomes suggestions for future speakers, historical topics, and venues. Ideas may be emailed to gebauer@charter.net with “Program Suggestions” in the subject line.
