Each Fall, Winter and Spring, the Door County Maritime Museum hosts experts and interesting characters from around the country for the Maritime Speaker Series (presented in partnership with series sponsor Door County Medical Center). The Maritime Speaker Series offers an assortment of monthly programs – from historical topics to current issues affecting the Great Lakes and the economy that relies on them.
UP NEXT: April 3: A Bridge-Eye View: Stories from 40 Years of Tending Sturgeon Bay’s Bridges presented by Sonja Polster and Rose Pipkorn.
