The Miller announced Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020 that it will transition operations to an appointment-only model beginning Nov. 12, in an effort to mitigate the spread of the surging COVID-19 cases in Door County. The announcement came ahead of Governor Evers announcement of Executive Order #94 yesterday and after the decision was made by the County Board of Supervisors to restrict access to County buildings and facilities in their Tuesday, November 10 meeting. The restrictions will be in place through the New Year or Thursday, December 31, 2020.

Winter's Spring: An Ältere Garten by Leslie Iwai

Madison-based artist Leslie Iwai explores the connection between elders and children with vibrant colors and sculptural creations, which unfold a joyful, metaphoric garden. While kindergarten recalls stories and images of burgeoning children, blossoming gardens and childhood adventures, the Ältere Garten contemplates the re-emergence of innocence and childhood wonder that comes in the later decades of life.
