Door County is a peninsula which divides Green Bay from the main body of Lake Michigan. It has 250-miles of beautiful, rugged shoreline. Door County is often called the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.” We will visit Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, built in 1868, which is period furnished. We will take a ferry to quiet Washington Island which is the largest of Door County’s thirty islands with over 35 beautiful square miles and over 100 miles of quiet roads to explore and enjoy. We will visit Washington Island with views of the surrounding islands' rocky shores, lush forests, and peaceful tranquility. You’re on “Island Time” now and your hectic pace becomes a distant memory and meaningful “enjoyment” begins. Visit coffee shops, restaurants, scenic tower, museums (maritime, farming), lavender farm and gift shop, historic Stavkirke Church, pubs and more.
Door County is blessed with a history of many cultures, especially Scandinavian. From the Viking-like presence of the Village Hall in Ephraim, to the authentic beauty of Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay, which defines the whole village. Washington Island, however, harbors a real, almost hidden historical treasure: the Stavkirke (Church of Staves) based on drawings of one built in Borgund, Norway in 1150 AD.
**Others price this trip at $3,000! We can do it more affordably for our smaller meetup group of 12 to 24--for $1,595 double occupancy.**
