Invented in America, grain elevators changed the world’s food landscape. These amazing structures were a technological innovation greatly increasing the ability to store and ship grains around the globe, accelerating food distribution into the modern age. In Door County, The Teweles and Brandeis families aspired to the American dream, building a local grain elevator in 1901 on the shores of Sturgeon Bay that helped launch the family’s adventures in the new world. Now the Door County Granary is being preserved for all to learn about this time and place that helped America, and the mid-west move from log cabin settlements feeding people locally to a global food power.
Coffee will be served at 10 AM with the presentation beginning at 10:30 followed by Q&A.

Food is the most basic building block of human life. We all need it to survive and thrive. But where does our food come from? How does it get to where we can eat it? Who decides what products will be available to us to eat? The answers to all of these questions, for people in Upstate New York and throughout the United States, were radically transformed by the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 and continued to change dramatically over the next 200 years as the Canal itself changed.
