Door County — Wisconsin's Peninsula of Beauty!

Stretching between the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan, Door County has become one of Wisconsin's most treasured destinations.

Known for its picturesque shoreline, charming villages, historic lighthouses, and thriving cherry orchards, the peninsula welcomes visitors from around the world throughout every season.

Long before tourism flourished, Native American communities lived throughout the region, relying upon the surrounding waters for transportation, fishing, and trade.

French explorers later named the passage at the tip of the peninsula Porte des Morts, or "Death's Door," after dangerous waters and tragic shipwrecks that occurred there.

As settlers arrived during the nineteenth century, fishing, farming, lumber, and shipbuilding became important industries.

The fertile soil proved ideal for growing cherries, eventually making Door County one of the largest cherry-producing regions in the United States.

Today, visitors come to experience much more than beautiful scenery.

Historic villages preserve Wisconsin's heritage.

Local artists showcase their creativity.

Lighthouses continue watching over the shoreline.

Parks protect breathtaking cliffs, forests, and beaches for future generations.
