Program areas at Sister Bay Historical Society
we operate as a museum. We maintain a 7 acre site with 15 restored buildings which contain exhibits that are open for tours in the summer. We rely on membership fees, donations and fundraisers to cover our operating expenses
In 2020 we were given a 1929, 26 foot Chris-Craft runabout boat. Our project is to maintain it and find or construct a boat house to showcase it.
We have our ChristKindlMarkt fundraiser for three weekends in November and December. This is our largest fundraiser, needing 100 volunteers. The proceeds go to support our many projects.
