Celebrate and help kick-off the Teweles & Brandeis Grain Elevator's 125th Anniversary with a presentation from Peter Lison, Curator at the Door County Museum & Archives. The Grains that Built Door County: a timeline of our agricultural history.
Peter will guide attendees on a deep dive into Door County’s agricultural history from prehistory, the growth of commercial agricultural and industrialization, its eventual decline, and modern agriculture as it is today.
The Teweles & Brandeis Grain Elevator, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1901 on a dock on Sturgeon Bay’s West Waterfront by carpenters E. L. Russell and W. R. Lindsey. Named after the thriving seed company at the turn-of-the-twentieth century, the T&B Grain Elevator was a significant component of the prosperous agricultural economy of the time.
Celebrate 125-years of History!
Free and open to the public.
Beer, wine, and snacks will be available for purchase.
Doors open at 6:00 PM, presentation to begin at 6:30 PM.
