Join Beth Renstrom from the Sturgeon Bay Historical Society in a Coffee Talk about American Ingenuity and the American Dream: The Door County Granary. This takes place on June 5th at 10am. This is an exciting opportunity to connect with fellow history buffs, make new friends, and enjoy some coffee!

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.
