2026 DMM Online Fundraiser

The Dorothy Molter Museum is hosting its Annual Fundraising Dinner in-person at the Grand Ely Lodge on Saturday, February 7, 2026. However, you don't have to attend to have an opportunity to support the Museum and "win" something for yourself!

You do not need to be present at the in-person event to place bids or be the high bidder on items in this online auction. However, some items must be picked up in person and are listed as such.

LIVE EVENT
If you are able to attend our in-person dinner on Feb 7, we will have additional items available via live silent auction, raffle buckets and door prizes as well as our annual Wenonah Canoe Raffle drawing. All online auction items will be on display at the dinner.

The Dorothy Molter Museum preserves and interprets Northwoods wilderness heritage through learning opportunities inspired by Dorothy Molter, the last non-indigenous resident of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).
The Museum strives to inspire the next generation of Northwoods stewards to make a significant contribution toward a better world through Dorothy’s legacy of perseverance, integrity and generosity.
As we continue to remember Dorothy and keep her spirit alive, we strive to embody the same principles that she espoused:
Perseverance: To maintain long-term sustainability in an ever-changing social, political and financial climate.
Integrity: To maintain the highest degree of historical accuracy and visitor satisfaction.
and Generosity: To be a positive, active and contributing member of the diverse communities we are a part of.
