Each Fall, Winter and Spring, DCMM hosts experts and interesting characters from around the country for the Maritime Speaker Series (presented in partnership with series sponsor the 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.
The Door County Medical Center Maritime Speaker Series programs are the first Thursday of each month, October through May, beginning at 7pm, on the second floor of the Museum, and online. No cost to attend; suggested donation of a non-perishable food item, or if watching online, we ask you to make a food donation to your local food pantry.
UP NEXT – Thursday, April 3 at 7pm, featuring A Bridge Eye View: Stories from 40 Years of Tending Sturgeon Bay’s Bridges by Sonja Polster with special guest Rose Pipkorn.
Sonja Polster’s husband Bill and Rose Pipkorn tended the Michigan Street and Bay View bridges from the late 1960s to early 2000s. Join us for an evening of storytelling from these bridge tenders and gain a deeper understanding of this important role in our community.
Sonja Polster was born and raised in Door County. Sonja and her husband Bill were married for 57 years until Bill’s passing in 2022.
