With Door County Museum & Archives Curator Matt Adelman, explore the rich history of early firefighting in Sturgeon Bay. Through both a presentation and a walkthrough of the DCMA’s extensive collection of firefighting artifacts in the Pioneer Firehouse, Matt will explore how local efforts to fight fires have evolved over time. This one-day course offers a unique glimpse into the people, equipment, and events that shaped the community’s response to fire.
