More Information
Owned and operated by the Sturgeon Bay Historical Society and located on state public land, the Door County Granary is open to the public seasonally, free of charge, as a living museum and community gather space. The Granary is available for private group rentals in an effort to sustain and preserve this historic landmark on Sturgeon Bay’s West Waterfront.
Built in 1901, during the turn-of-the-20th-century’s agricultural economy, the grain elevator transformed Sturgeon Bay into a year-round community. Its presence on the westside waterfront tells a story that weaves together outlying farms, Great Lakes shipping, the Ahnapee and Western Railway, and the Shipping Canal — many of the pieces that have made Door County the unique place it is today.
