Sturgeon Bay, Wis. (April 2, 2025) – Join the Door County Historical Society (DCHS) Dine & Discover dinner program on April 28 at Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay. This event features Brian Grube, Park Manager for Newport and Rock Island State Parks, who will share the history of Rock Island—from its earliest inhabitants to its present-day use.
Rock Island has been a key location for trade, travel, and settlement along Lake Michigan’s northeast shores. Grube will discuss its historical significance and ongoing role in the region.
Brian Grube has spent his career in outdoor recreation and historic preservation. Before returning to Wisconsin in 2022, he worked in California and Arizona managing outdoor programs. Now overseeing Newport and Rock Island State Parks, Grube brings firsthand knowledge of the area’s history.
