The ceremonial groundbreaking for the Maritime Lighthouse Tower expansion at the Door County Maritime Museum (DCMM) – signaling the start of construction activities – will take place Nov. 13, 10:30 am, at the museum, 120 N. Madison Ave., Sturgeon Bay.

“This is a historic day that has been a long time coming for the Door County Maritime Museum,” said DCMM board member John Asher, CEO of Roen Salvage Company. “So many people have worked very hard for many years to make this dream a reality. This project will be a significant economic stimulus that will bring long-term stability to the museum and more business to many others throughout Sturgeon Bay and Door County.”

Groundbreaking-event speakers will include William Harder, DCMM board president; Kevin Osgood, DCMM executive director; Bob DeKoch, president of the Boldt Company; and Will Kress of the George Kress Foundation and president of Green Bay Packaging.
