In their time in charge, the two have not only revitalized programming in the venue’s main theater, but they have converted a second space into an 84-seat black-box theater. TAP has always been long on enthusiasm. Founders Amy McKenzie and Jimmy Kaplan – of Peninsula Players and AFT, respectively – and a team of hard-working volunteers transformed the old Donna movie theater into the space more than a decade ago. Over the years, national acts, up-and-coming performers and local actors have treaded the boards. Still, it has been a long haul. “By the time we arrived, it was only open about a third of the year… and there was no focus in the programming,” Boles said. The new focus includes plenty of concerts and performances. The two also introduced their own ensemble, the Stage Door Theatre Company. The audience built steadily through the year until “we were turning people away by the end of the season. We were putting out as many folding chairs as possible,” Valcq said. The shows themselves connected with the audience. “We were really happy with the variety that the first season afforded,” Valcq said. The coming second season features a fresh mix of shows, including “Trick Boxing,” “The Glass Menagerie,” “Greater Tuna,” “The House of Blue Leaves” and “The 39 Steps.” Other troupes continue to use the stages, and concerts – part of the TAP experience from the beginning – are also part of the offering. “The word is getting out. Believe me. Not a day goes by someone doesn’t thank us for what we are doing here,” Valcq said. “It is enormously gratifying to now we are reaching out to a large segment of the population that never gave (TAP) a second thought before. We are becoming important in the cultural life of this community.” For additional information, call 920-7431760 or visit www.thirdavenueplayhouse.com. TAP isn’t the only home for theater, music and entertainment in Door County.

Fill a day your way Story by Heidi Hodges
44 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
Sometimes, all it takes is a day. “Do Door County in one day?” you ask. The notion seems daunting. Impossible, even. Indeed, some people actually pack up everything and move here—and still don’t find enough time to get it all in.
doorcountyday
The Door Peninsula is so vast, so cultured and layered. You simply can’t do it all. Yet, perhaps with some careful planning, you can pick up the magnificent vibe of this place on one long, sweet summer day. Here’s a hint: It isn’t necessary to do everything or see it all. Just pick and choose some highlights. It will take some thinking ahead and a few supplies. In the end, it will be a very memorable day. Here is a short guide—kind of an instruction manual—on how to achieve Door County bliss in 24 hours. What you will need: First of all, you should be fully rested. It’s only one day—but it’s going to be a big one. You won’t want your feet dragging. Second, consider packing a thermos of coffee or tea, a water bottle, a picnic blanket, swim wear (if it’s hot and you are inclined), clothes for hot weather and clothes for cold weather (trust me), sunscreen, sunglasses and enough money to do whatever level of eating, shopping and entertainment-seeking you wish. Also recommended is a state park sticker for your vehicle. You’ll want a Your Key to the Door magazine (in your hands) and the current Your Key to the Door Weekly newspaper supplement. A detailed map of the county will be helpful if you aren’t totally familiar with all the locations. (Besides using the maps in this guide, look for The Advocate’s free 2013 Door County Fun Map on news racks.) The day should be planned in advance. Spontaneity is fun, but you’ll need to be efficient to get it all in. Instead of specific locations, this guide will give you general ideas. You customize it to your own locations and desires. The research is part of the fun. OK . . . let’s begin.
We’ve got one day, and we’re going to pack in as much as we can. So, the morning starts early. Think sunrise over Lake Michigan. Sure, everyone gets mushy talking about sunsets over the bay (don’t worry, we’ll get there later), but sunrise is extraordinarily special, too. This is where the thermos of hot coffee (do you take cream and sugar?), a picnic blanket and warm clothes come in. Drive to a Lake Michigan location – for instance, the canal station and lighthouse near Sturgeon Bay, the Lily Bay boat launch, or the Baileys Harbor marina are a few ideas. Unfortunately, not all parks are open that early—but there are areas available for sunrisewatching locations from Southern Door all the way to Rock Island. Plan ahead so you know where you are going first thing in the morning. Perhaps you are lucky to be staying on the lake side. But don’t just watch from a window. Get outside to enjoy the grandeur. Spread out your blanket, pour the coffee, and watch one of the greatest shows on Earth. Listen to the water sounds and notice the wildlife. It’s different than any other time of day. Don’t forget to take pictures and post liberally on Facebook. When the sun is sufficiently risen, you’ll need breakfast. Head to an eatery that suits your location, budget and taste. There are plenty of fantastic suggestions in this magazine. My only recommendation is to pace yourself. It’s a big day, and there are a lot of restaurants. After breakfast, it’s time for a sightseeing hike. Not a huge, strenuous one – just enough to burn those calories and perk you up. Depending on where you are, there should be a state park with scenic hiking trails nearby. There are five state parks in Door County, and a lot of county parks, too. Pick one

and take a walk. Don’t forget your water bottle! After your short hike, it’s time to head to a populated area and check out the county’s quaint shops. Every community in Door County has them— you might even have time to hit more than one little village. If you are a reluctant shopper (or brought family members who are), drop them off at a beach for a couple hours of sand-castle building and swimming. Beaches abound. Did you procure some fun stuff? If your lodging is nearby, perhaps you’ll want to head back to drop off your new goodies. Freshen up. Because the next stop is lunch. Again, pick a place that piques your curiosity. (Optional idea for the “Advanced Day in Door County:” Get a lunch “to go” at a restaurant or grocery store and head to a scenic location, spread out the picnic blanket again and soak it in. It’s great fun to leisurely watch waterfront activities and people. Some suggestions: Peninsula State Park’s Nicolet Bay, Ephraim’s shore front or Anderson Dock, and Cave Point County Park. ) After lunch, it’s time to do some sightseeing. Cana Island Lighthouse is a favorite stop. Or, it can be fun to watch the car ferries come and go at Northport. And don’t 46 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
forget, there are fabulous museums all around the county. An alternative afternoon idea: Keep an eye on the schedule of current happenings. Oftentimes you can find a free concert at a local park. These are usually timed for after lunch but before dinner. At this point, perhaps you’ll need a little pickme-up or an early dinner. Ice cream or coffee or (dare we suggest?) hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine? The evening is the tricky part because, we’ll be honest, there are simply too many things to do. This is precisely why people end up moving to Door County! But we already agreed you can’t
doorcountyday
do everything in one day, and you don’t need to. Just pick one good thing. Want to watch some live theater? There are several nationally recognized venues around the peninsula, offering nightly shows. In the mood for a music concert? From classical to folk, there’s a show somewhere. Maybe you just want to stop in at a local club and check out the county’s nightlife scene. From upscale, wine-glass tinkling venues to rowdy, legendary hangouts, there’s a place for every temperament. If you aren’t sure what to pick, ask. Folks around here are friendly. Depending on the timing of your evening activity, hopefully you can catch the sunset over the bay we promised. The best public viewing on the peninsula begins at Egg Harbor and extends northward. If it’s
a particularly good sunset, you’ll hear people applaud when the last dot of flame is extinguished in the water. So, did you do it all? Was it possible? You did. Well, almost. Before you find a bed to collapse in, there’s one final thing. Drive away from the village lights. Step out of your car and look up. You won’t believe the stars. Have you ever seen so many in your life? Maybe you’ll catch a shooting star, or, if you are lucky, the Northern Lights will flame across the sky. Now, you can say you experienced the unique vibe of Door County. All in one day. It will probably take more than one. ● 2013 | Your Key to the Door | 47

Fishing It’s all about the water when you make a trip to the Door Peninsula: When you have nearly 300 miles of shoreline, the Peninsula offers an impressive mix of sport and commercial fisheries. Historic commercial fisheries still operate here, allowing local restaurants and fish markets to serve up the catches – mainly lake whitefish and yellow perch – year-round. Of course, reeling in your own supper can be a lot more fun. Resurgence in yellow perch numbers has fans of pan-fried fillets grinning. Southern Door County’s Little Sturgeon Bay, Rileys Bay, Sand Bay, Sawyer Harbor and Sturgeon Bay are among the more popular spots to find them. The waters of Green Bay and its walleyes, smallmouth bass, northern pike, brown trout and Great Lakes strain muskies lure anglers from all over North America and beyond. The same is true for Lake Michigan’s spectacular chinook salmon and steelhead fishery which spans the lakeshore. In addition to the Door County Lake Michigan ports, Algoma is another hot spot for salmon activity with a number of record catches reeled in off shore. Trophy walleyes have drawn all of the na-
tion’s top tournament trails to the waters of Green Bay, and spotted muskies provide a world-class chance at tangling with a monster. Sturgeon Bay’s reputation for big smallmouth bass – and a lot of them – attract hundreds of anglers weekly, from the opening of the season in early May through late fall. Meanwhile, hardhitting northern pike are bonus catches that can also be targeted. Guides and charter captains can shorten the learning curve or get you on the water if you don’t have a boat, or you can try it yourself and explore shorelines, bays, harbors, channels or offshore reefs. If you prefer to keep your feet on land, two of the better spots for casting are at Carmody County Park in Little Sturgeon Bay and George Pinney County Park (formerly Olde Quarry County Park) north of Sturgeon Bay. Sturgeon Bay’s Strawberry Creek salmon refuge also teems with life early each October. Visitors can watch fisheries personnel take eggs from the kings, which are on their death run. For more information on area fishing opportunities, call the 24-hour fishing hotlines at (920) 487-3090 (Algoma Area Fishing Hotline) or (920) 743-7046 (Door County Visitor Bureau) or e-mail wildtimes@wizunwired.net. ● 2013 | Your Key to the Door | 55
State park golf course reflects countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty Story by Jon Gast
56 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
stateparks
In his book “Door County: Wisconsin’s Peninsular Jewel,” Bruce Thomas explains how A. E. Doolittle lobbied from 1911 to 1915 to build nine-hole courses on opposite ends of the newly created Peninsula Sate Park. Doolittle was the park’s first superintendent, and he proposed one near Fish Creek and another above Ephraim. The State Park Board saw little merit in such expense, especially at a time when the sport lacked broad public appeal. “In those days few women played golf, and not many blue-collar workers, truck drivers or public employees were interested in the game,” wrote Thomas. “Clubs and green fees were too costly. Golf was considered a gentleman’s game – well-heeled gentlemen who could take the time to chase a little ball around for five hours or more! For all of those reasons, members of the park board could not picture a golf course being used enough to justify the public expenditure of building one!” Boy, were they wrong! What Doolittle couldn’t accomplish, the Ephraim Men’s Club did, and today the Peninsula State Park 18-hole course is a scenic gem that is one of the primary draws to a major Door County attraction. Peninsula Park is one of five state parks in the county, and each is unique in its own way. But the golf course is the only one in the state park system, and from its humble beginnings it laid the foundation for what is now a thriving golf scene on the peninsula with 10 public courses spreading from Idlewild in southern Door County to Washington Island. Less than six years after the park board rejected Doolittle’s idea, the board was approached by a group of businessmen headed by Chicago banker George Nelson to lease
property to construct a course. Thomas explained the parcel was only 35 acres, just enough for architect W.B. Lovekin of Green Bay to squeeze in six holes. It opened in 1923 with sand greens, rough fairways and no watering system other than what Mother Nature provided. For a buck, the gentlemen could piece together three circuits of the course to produce an 18-hole round. That only served to whet the appetites of these ambitious businessmen who just three years later approached the state again for enough land to add three additional holes. Head pro Alex Cunningham left an indelible signature on the course when, in designing the new holes, he produced a 65-yarder off a cliff. Its popularity alone appealed to the rapidly expanding growth of the sport as all ages and genders were tested equally by this unique hole. Even celebrity expounded on its greatness: Legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi called it a personal favorite. But the existence of the park turned on a couple of significant events: The first corresponded with the stock market crash of 1929 and the state’s willingness to negotiate with the Ephraim Men’s Club to take over operation of the course. That deal also led to the second nine holes, completed in 1930. Better than a half-century later, history would repeat itself when a private group would lead a resurrection of sorts. Much like the Ephraim Men’s Club did in originally in creating the course, permanent and summer residents organized the Peninsula Golf Associates in 1982 to improve the course and the playing conditions. This group continues to operate the course under agreement with the state to this day, with wonderful results. state PARKS continued on page 58 >>>

State parks: Peninsula State Park (920-868-3258), an expanse of 3,776 acres, was established the same year. Door County would never be the same. Peninsula is not only the county’s most heavily used park, it is one of the state’s most popular publicly owned destinations. Peninsula’s primary appeal remains its stunning overlooks of the sparkling waters of Green Bay. It continues to be one of Wisconsin’s top camping destinations, with 472 campsites. There you’ll also find popular Nicolet Beach, boat launches, 20 miles of hiking and biking trails (including a roughterrain mountain bike path), plus an extensive road system. It also is summer home to American Folklore Theatre’s stunning outdoor theater. Peninsula is located off Highway 42 between Ephraim and Fish Creek, Potawatomi State Park (920-746-2890) has its entrance on Park Road off Highway 42-57 south of Sturgeon Bay. It is a jewel of the Sturgeon Bay shoreline in Sawyer Harbor. The half-milelong Ancient Shores nature trail is a feature of the 17 miles of trails that wind through this 1,225-

GOLF Courses: acre site. There is a boat ramp because this is a popular park among fishermen. Campers, too, find peaceful retreat in the 123 campsites the park provides. Rock Island State Park (920-847-2235) is the northernmost park in Door County. Day-trippers enjoy a magnificent beach, miles of inland and shoreside hiking trails and 40 sites reserved for tent campers. Biking is not allowed on the island. A magnificent boathouse and the county’s oldest lighthouse are its primary structures. Outside of private boating, access to the island is via the ferry Karfi from Washington Island. On the mainland, a southbound traveler next can visit Newport State Park (920-854-2500) at the end of County Road NP, north of Ellison Bay. Newport’s 2,373 acres are devoted to a wilderness credo, so there’s only one mile of road for motor vehicles. The road terminates in a sand beach and picnic area from which radiate more than 30 miles of hiking trails, including some 15 miles of unpaved trails suitable for offroad bikes. There are no overnight spaces for RVs, but hardy backpackers enjoy 16 remote campsites, many on the shore of Lake Michigan. Whitefish Dunes State Park (920-823-2400) is off County Road WD from Highway 57 south of Jacksonport. The towering sand dunes of this 863-acre park form the backdrop of one of the best-loved beaches in Door County. Naturalist programs for every age level, along with exhibits on ancient cultures, are features of the well-equipped nature center. A two-mile self-guided nature trail highlights the trees and plants native to this part of Wisconsin. Behind the ancient dunes are more than 13 miles of hiking trails to explore. This a day-use park only, meaning there is no camping. Visit www.dnr.state.wi.us for information on visiting the Wisconsin State Parks. Entry stickers for the state parks are required.
Originally built by a Chicago industrialist, Maxwelton Braes (920-839-2321) is of classic design located on both sides of Highway 57 just south of Baileys Harbor. Already the largest layout in the county before adding another nine holes a year ago, the 36-hole course at The Alpine Resort (920-8683232) in Egg Harbor has been a resorter favorite for more than 70 years. Also in the Egg Harbor area, The Orchards at Egg Harbor (920-868-2483) is an impressive rolling layout built around a picturesque lake, or if you prefer a shorter executive course, Stonehedge (920-868-2566) has matured nicely since opening more than a decade ago. Idlewild Golf Course (920-743-3334) and Cherry Hills Resort (920-7433240) have established a solid reputation for fine golf in the Sturgeon Bay area. Southern Door County’s 27 Pines (920-746-8762), a par-three layout, is rapidly maturing. Those people heading over Death’s Door to Washington Island are reminded to take their clubs along. Deer Run Golf Resort (920-847-2017) offers a nine-hole challenge in the center of the Island. Sister Bay’s Bay Ridge (920-8544085) is another nine-hole course popular with vacationers; it’s located right off Hwy. 42 in the village.

Historical Attractions Story by Barb Axelson
Back in 1939, as part of a WPA project, the Door County Historical Museum was created. Harry Dankohlor, a local resident, had begun to collect what he considered to be items of historical value. Another resident, Hjalmar Holand, wanted to preserve written memories of the county. In conjunction with the newly formed Door County Historical Society, the two collaborated to bring the museum into being. Located at the corner of Michigan Street and Fourth Avenue in downtown Sturgeon Bay, the museum is run by the county. An expansion was begun in 1984, and the funds raised were used to add to the old main building area, opening up two levels and an adjacent fire station. 62 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
The Pioneer Fire Station, a replica of the turnof-the-century building that served Sturgeon Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original fire company, houses three fire trucks which are maintained by an interested group of firefighters, and the county cares for the facility. Visitors can don firemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gear, climb into the 1920 truck and ring the bell. Additionally, other displays include a cell from the old jail building and an old horse-drawn hearse.

Historic houses include the Warren House and a nearby privy; the Schopf House, originally built by a German immigrant family; and the Kohl Fish House. A one-room schoolhouse, once the Clay Banks Town Hall, is another attraction, as is the Greene General Store with its candy counter and wood stove.

These include the Anderson Barn History Museum, built in 1880 as a barn for the Aslag Anderson family. The barn contains a “handson hayloft,” a popular feature for visitors’ children. The Anderson Store dates from 1858 and was in business for 100 years. The

building is interpreted as a general store with original, authentic merchandise, including brand new shoes from 1910. The Iverson House on Moravia Street belonged to the minister who built Ephraim’s Moravian Church, and it served as a meeting hall until that church was built. In 1853, it was the earliest frame house in Northern Door. Pioneer Schoolhouse was a one-room center of learning for grades 1-8, and sometimes younger siblings came along. The building was rescued from demolition through the efforts of teacher Helen Sohns, who, in the 1940s, appealed to community leaders to preserve it. Behind the schoolhouse is the Goodletson Cabin, built in the 1850s by a family from Norway. It was originally constructed on Eagle Island (today’s Horseshoe Island) and probably was moved by skidding it across the ice. This year, opening day is June 14 ‒ a free museum day. Walking and tram tours are available. From June 14 through Aug. 31, hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. After Labor Day, hours are the same on Friday and Saturday through the Columbus Day weekend. Visit www. ephraim.org for more information. Sister Bay’s Corner of the Past settlement, at the south entrance to the village on Highway 57, features The Old Anderson House Museum, a 19th-century farmhouse that was brought across the ice from Marinette in 1895. It holds
heirlooms, artifacts and keepsakes from this area. Other buildings are a granary, a migrant worker’s cabin, an old preacher’s cabin and loom house. Other attractions include as a chicken coop, a Big Belle threshing machine, 100-year-old sawmill and the original mail sleigh that served the village. Opening is June 8. Hours are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Sister Bay Historical Society number is 920854-7680. And near the tip of the Peninsula, next to the Grand View property above Ellison Bay, is the Liberty Grove Historical Society museum site. There you’ll find a log cabin dating to 1882, the first German Lutheran Church in Door County, moved from Ellison Bay. Used as a museum, the building contains artifacts from local fishermen and families in Liberty Grove. There are two cherry picker shacks (approximately 14 x 16 feet) that used to be on Woodcrest Road, one of which is used as a summer kitchen where the women pickers carved their names with dates on the rafters. Additionally, an old restored corn crib, a granary, and Pine Cottage, formerly part of the Liberty Park cottages, are on the site. The latter is being restored by a couple who spent their wedding night there. The property is open every day of the year. Hours for 2013 are to be determined. ● 2013 | Your Key to the Door | 65

Fish Boil For the uninitiated, the idea of crowds gathered for the preparation of a whitefish dinner must be head-scratchingly bizarre. 72 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
However, we’re not talking a tame little grill here. It’s a wild, roaring beast of flame they await. The soaring heat explodes into the sky creating a bursting blaze of a finale, the sight seared upon the memories of all who were present. The Door County fish boil is not simply a meal – it’s an event! The fish boil has long been a fixture on the Door County culinary map. Initially, it was enjoyed as a mainstay in the early lumber industry, where the plentiful availability of fish assisted in feeding large numbers of hungry men. Others believe today’s fish boil is an outgrowth of the early fishing industry and the “Domer” cooked fish. Steam was the power that propelled the early fishing fleets. Out on the lakes, a fresh catch with potatoes and onions, wrapped in layers of newspaper, would be set on the boiler, where it would steam in its own juices, providing a delicious feast. Back on land, the fishermen used the same concept of the steam boiler to cook larger quantities of fish. Then, in 1961, the Viking Grill in Ellison Bay made the fish boil a fixture on their menu, introducing it to a new, and ever-expanding public audience. Today, dozens of Door County restaurants offer fish boils. You start with a cedar slab-fed blaze, over which sits a boiling salt-water-filled kettle. First in go scrubbed baby red potatoes, followed by spirited sweet onions. Finally, as baskets of whitefish or trout are layered over the vegetables, the spectators are readied – the pay-off moment is about to arrive. The master boiler steps up and flings diesel fuel on the flames, which then rage up, overflowing the cauldron and washing out any cooking residue from the surface of the pot. Dinner is served! ●

Beauty, wonder & adventure showcased in all 19 Door County Parks Story by Pamela Parks

D o o r C o u n t y ’s 19 county parks welcome visitors and residents alike to quiet havens and preserves, unique geological wonders along the Niagara Escarpment, and prime fishing waters on the shores of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. Showcasing 972 acres of the county’s premium natural habitats, there is something for everyone to enjoy at every park — a testament to the vision and drive of the late George Pinney. Before the former parks director lost his courageous battle with cancer last year at the age of 66, the Door County Board of Supervisors honored Pinney with a permanent reminder of the parks’ dedicated caretaker since 1995 by renaming Olde Stone Quarry
Park as George K. Pinney County Park. Located in the remnant of the Leathem and Smith Company’s stone quarry north of Sturgeon Bay, George K. Pinney is surrounded by the impressive dolomite walls left behind from the quarry days. The setting is perfect for picnics, sunset gazing, and fishing. A modern six-lane boat launch and handicapped-accessible fishing pier provides access to the prime waters of Green Bay for bass, northern, and perch fishing. Scuba divers enjoy exploring two shipwrecks, the Joseph L. Hurd and the Mueller, located in the waters near the park. Likely the most popular county park is Cave Point, a magical place located on Lake Michigan near Jacksonport. The park stands above sea caves along the limestone shoreline of Lake Michigan, worn by its wave action for an impressive view. On hot and windy summer days, freshwater mist fills the air above the sea cave area while winter spins the mist into whimsical art of icicles and frozen waves. A sizeable and accessible gazebo can be rented COUNTY PARKS continued on page 76 >>>

to provide the perfect backdrop to weddings and special occasions. Another favorite that boasts a bit of adventure – as well as a dose of maritime history – is Cana Island Lighthouse near Baileys Harbor. Park the car and take a careful walk across the rock causeway for a rare opportunity to climb up a still functioning navigation lighthouse tower to enjoy an unbeatable view of Lake Michigan’s shoreline from the catwalk. The Door County Maritime Museum oversees the 140-yearold lighthouse, which is open to visitors daily May through October for a modest admission fee. Ellison Bluff, a State Natural Area near Ellison Bay, offers spectacular views of Green Bay and is the perfect place to see the sunset for a memorable Door County moment. Accessible hiking trails can be found under the forest canopy, and adventurous visitors can give the challenging multiple-step, GPS-guided geocache treasure hunt a try. Nearby is Door Bluff Headlands, which also features a high overlook of Green Bay and offers challenging hiking trails and breathtaking waterline views for kayakers. A bayside sandy beach can be found south of 76 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
Egg Harbor at Frank E. Murphy, a hub of summer activities with a playground, volleyball court, picnic area, and pavilion. The park is also home to the annual Door County Triathlon in July. Several county parks are located on Lake Michigan’s shoreline, including Southern Door’s Robert LaSalle. Retrace the French explorer’s landing point in 1679 and enjoy the hues of a Lake Michigan sunrise dance over the colorful cobblestone beach. Children will enjoy the playground in the lower level of the park. Also found lakeside is Baileys Harbor Ridges and its newly rehabilitated sand beach. On breezy days, this park is the perfect spot to catch a breathtaking glimpse of local kite boarders riding the wind and waves. A quiet haven for serious naturalists and visitors interested in a challenging hike on unmarked trails is Lyle-Harter-Matter Sanctuary and Meridian near Jacksonport. A wayside is the only access point to both State Natural Areas, which contain rock outcroppings that showcase the Niagara Escarpment and forested ridges and swales of past lake shorelines. The tallest sand dune in the county is hidden under a forested car-

pet in the Sanctuary near Kangaroo Lake. In southern Door County, find Sugar Creek just a bit off the beaten path along the bayshore. It now features an 18-hole disc golf course through 20 acres of hardwood forest. Forestville Dam is a quiet inland setting for kayakers and also offers a new viewing and fishing pier for catch-and-release fishing. Visitors can walk on the dam’s spillway to enjoy a spectacular view, then stay and play at the playground. The park provides access to the scenic Ahnapee State Trail, also a county park, that is a public pathway for biking, hiking, horseback riding, and winter snowmobiling. The trail follows 12 miles of the retired railroad line of Ahnapee and Western. John Miles not only hosts the Door County Fair in August but has multiple soccer fields, a playground, and is home to the county’s only stock car racetrack. Visitors are likely to
see 4-H horse drill teams practicing in summer or special events such as the Century Ride or American Cancer Society Cancer Walk. For brilliant fall colors and some history on the Belgian Settlement, visit historic Tornado Memorial Park, a quick stop off of Highway 57. Local fishermen have enjoyed access to the frozen waters of Green Bay for winter ice fishing for decades by way of Chaudoir’s Dock, Robert M. Carmody and George K. Pinney. Like Pinney, Carmody is a modern, accessible boat launch into Green Bay and its renown fishing grounds. A fast fairw e a t h e r launch into Lake Michigan is Lily Bay, which leads to a 3-mile stretch of shallow reef north of Sturgeon Bay called “The Bank,” a hotspot for salmon and lake trout. Enjoy the scenery and a bit of adventure with a ride on the ferry from the Peninsula to Washington Island to enjoy a serene waterside picnic and sandy beach at Percy Johnson.

Remembering Door County lighthouse keepers Story by Donna Marie Pocius
While sophisticated navigational aides exist today, it’s still important that challenges and services addressed by Door County’s original keepers not be forgotten, according to Steven Karges, author of “Keepers of the Lights: Lighthouse Keepers & Their Families, Door County Wisconsin, 1837-1939” and a professor emeritus of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. 94 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
lighthouses
Pottawatomie Lighthouse.
Take, for example, David Corbin, who lived a solitary lifestyle as the first keeper of Door County on Rock Island beginning in 1937. A War of 1812 veteran, Corbin handled operations at the Pottawatomie Lighthouse, a key beacon that guided ships traveling to and from Detroit and between St. Martin and Rock Island. The lighthouse’s construction began in 1836 after ship owners and others petitioned the government about the dark channel. The building was first lighted in spring 1838. (Eventually, the original lighthouse structure was torn down and replaced with the beacon that exists on Rock Island today.) “Corbin had a pretty rough life, really. Think about the time the lighthouse was built in the 1830s. If you were sailing through the channel, it would have been all dark unless you were lucky enough to have a moon. There was no settlement, and yet there was traffic from Detroit to Green Bay, as Green Bay was one of the major cities in Wisconsin,” Karges explained. The keeper of the light had to haul his supplies from a landing all the way up to the lighthouse—about a 1.5-mile trek at that time. Corbin cleared about five acres of land. He nurtured a vegetable garden and kept a horse named “Jock.” He earned $350 a year as the keeper for duties including making certain the light was illuminated and stayed lit all night. He also
had to make all repairs to the lighthouse and the light. “He must have been a hearty fellow to be there all alone,” Karges said. Later in Corbin’s life, a friend joined him on Rock Island. Corbin, who kept the light on for 15 years, died in December 1852 at age 57 and was buried in a cemetery located today just southeast of the lighthouse. “It was extremely solitary for him – at least at first. As time went on, there was a fishing settlement on the other end of Rock Island. And they all got together. People visited the lighthouse, and he visited them. They borrowed his horse,” Karges said. Corbin’s legacy is significant, Karges said. “I think the fact that he was the first keeper of the first lighthouse that was built in Door County was one of the most important things. And this was a terribly important lighthouse because of the way it guided ships in between St. Martin Island and Rock Island into Green Bay,” Karges said. Tours of the Pottawatomie Lighthouse Museum are offered daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Memorial Day through Labor Day. Two other important lighthouses in Door County are accessible to the public for a modest admission fee. Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, located inside Peninsula State Park, Fish Creek, is celebrating 50 years of welcoming visitors this season. A special tour will share the story of William Duclon, who served as keeper from 1883 to 1918. LIGHTHOUSES continued on page 96 >>>

“The most significant aspect of Eagle Bluff Lighthouse is William Duclon’s long tenure as keeper in Door County. He and his family worked the lighthouse for 35 years, which is remarkable. And because he served so long, we have significant documentation of what life was like at the lighthouse,” said Patti Podgers, who manages the lighthouse. Other theme tours this year will focus on quality of life at the lighthouse, children in the lighthouse, the woman’s role, lamp operation, and Door County and the Civil War. Here, the first keeper was Henry Stanley, who served from 1868 to 1883. The lighthouse was built in 1868 and automated in 1926. “Today, Eagle Bluff Lighthouse continues to guide ships — both commercial and recreational — through the Strawberry Islands with a solar lamp,” Podgers said. The beacon is open daily beginning May 31 with docent-led tours available 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The lighthouse closes at 4 p.m. Cana Island Lighthouse, 8800 E. Cana Island Rd., Baileys Harbor, offers visitors an opportunity to not only see an old beacon but also to climb 97 steps through the lighthouse tower — just as the keeper did while carrying heated lard to keep the light burning back in the day. Built in 1869 and automated in 1944, Cana Island Lighthouse tower stands 89 feet tall on 8.7 acres of county park land that’s accessible to the public. People can check out views of Lake Michigan and Door County’s natural surroundings from the gallery deck. Cana Island Lighthouse is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily May through October, with the last tower climb at 4:30 p.m. Information about all area lighthouses and their keepers is posted on Door County Maritime Museum’s Web site at www. dcmm.org. ●

Shipbuilding Story by Bob Johnson
Protected from the violence that can suddenly develop on the lake, Sturgeon Bay is an ideal location to develop and build ships of all sizes. The history of shipbuilding is full of shipyards that thrived and yet passed into history. Today, Sturgeon Bay is the home of Bay Shipbuilding, Inc. and Palmer Johnson Yachts, Inc. Both of these companies have threads that lead back to early Sturgeon Bay. 98 | Your Key to the Door | 2013
Bay Shipbuilding’s roots extend into the 19th century to Rieboldt and Wolter Shipbuilding. Bay Ship’s ultimate creation in 1970 was the culmination of what amounted to a merging of yards that through the years included Leathem Smith Shipbuilding, Sturgeon Bay Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company and Christy Corporation. And at no time was that more evident than during World War II. The demand for ships was so great that the local shipyards were put into high gear and an average of a ship every five days was being launched. The city of Sturgeon Bay filled the demand for workers to build the ships. More than 7,000 workers were

employed as builders at a time when the pre-war population of Sturgeon Bay was around 6,600. From 1968 to 1986, Bay Shipbuilding built 39 hulls, some of these among the largest ships to traverse the Great Lakes. Among the largest were six 1,000-footlong vessels, 105 feet wide (wider than the locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway) that carried coal, taconite and other goods between major ports on the Great Lakes. Today, Bay Shipbuilding Co., recently purchased from the Manitowoc Marine Corp. by the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, has become an industry leader in the construction of OPA-90 compliant vessels, dredges, and dredging support equipment, such as scows, deck barges, and tugs, along with bulk cargo self-unloading solutions. At any time throughout the year -- but especially in winter -- the massive kings of the Great Lakes
can be found under repair or refitting in the yards. It is from 1910 that the seeds of what would become Palmer Johnson Yachts, Inc. can be found. Hans Johnson and Herman Gmach built a variety of fishing tugs, sailing boats and small passenger vessels at the Sturgeon Bay Boat Works. In 1930, Sturgeon Bay Boat Works built the fishing tug Hope for Stanley Voight and Willie Johnson. Today, the tug is on display at the Door County Maritime Museum in Gills Rock. When Hans died in 1931, his son, Palmer, took over the company. In 1956, Sturgeon Bay Boat Works became Palmer Johnson Boats, Inc. when an ailing Palmer Johnson sold the shipyard to Milton Stern, R.A. Stern, Dr. Hubert Grota and Robert Tilden, and the local ownership group renamed it, setting in motion a series of events that would make Palmer’s name known internationally. The new local owners expanded operations before selling the company in 1961 to Pat Haggerty of Texas Instruments fame. Palmer Johnson would become known worldwide for its racing yachts, aluminum-hulled luxury yachts and sport fishing yachts as Haggerty’s son-in-law Mike Kelsey teamed with Bill Parsons, a local businessman, to take the company to new heights. In 1998, Palmer Johnson built and delivered La Baronessa, a 195-foot aluminum luxury yacht which at the time was the largest yacht built in the United States since 1930, at a cost of about $35 million. Today the yard is owned by British businessman Timur Mohamed, with the name Palmer Johnson Yachts. From humble beginnings as a wooden fishing boat builder more than 80 years ago, Palmer Johnson has emerged as one of the world’s leading builders of luxury, high-performance yachts. If you want to try to get a glimpse of a big ore carrier or a yacht under construction, take a trip down Sturgeon Bay’s First Avenue. ● 2013 | Your Key to the Door | 99

southern door
Those heading into Door County might find it easy to just drive right through Southern Door without a second thought.
If so, they’re missing the area’s peaceful, rural charm and the strong appreciation of Belgian heritage in the communities of Brussels and Namur, where the historic St. Mary’s of the Snows Church is located. Preservation efforts by the Peninsula Belgian-American Club and Namur Belgian Heritage Foundation landed Southern Door a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Excellent views of Little Sturgeon Bay or Sand Bay also offer settings for waterfront dining, whether homestyle, sandwich and dinner plates or fine dining.

sturgeon bay Door Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest community has been associated with shipping and boatbuilding since the canal linking Lake Michigan and the bay of Green Bay opened in 1881. Today, Sturgeon Bay continues to be synonymous with its waterfront, which includes the Door County Maritime Museum and its devotion to the nautical history of the bay and the Great Lakes.
B
Carlsville
The city has much more to offer, though, with its Miller Art Museum (inside Door County Library) anchoring a plethora of smaller art galleries and shops in and around downtown. Third Avenue Playhouse brings live entertainment to its stage on a regular basis. On the culinary side, Sturgeon Bay offers the widest range of choices on the Peninsula, from fast food to supper clubs, coffeehouses to family diners, sandwich shops to fine dining.

Scenic Egg Harbor presents a quaint charm, with restored old buildings housing a variety of shops, galleries, restaurants. Birch Creek Music Performance Center, east of the village on County E, which hosts concerts by its students and instructors in its 500-seat Dutton Concert Barn from late June through early August. While the businesses lining Wisconsin 42 constitute Egg Harbor’s downtown, it’s worth a side drive for the scenes along the bay waterfront on County B and County G, south of the village.
Juddville Bay
Egg Harbor

(Oh, the name? Several stories are out there, but the popular one revolves around an egg-tossing fight between two boats in the harbor in the early 19th century.)
Between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor on Wisconsin 42, one finds Carlsville, a small crossroads community boasting a number of shops, tours of the county’s largest dairy farm and homemade ice cream at Schopf’s Dairy View Country Store and the fine wines at Door Peninsula Winery.

fish creek Fish Creek is perhaps the artistic center of Door County, with Peninsula Players, American Folklore Theatre, Door Community Auditorium and the Peninsula School of Art all located in, or close by, the community boundaries. Peninsula Music Festival also holds its nine-concert August season at Door Community Auditorium, and many galleries and art studios call Fish Creek home. However, nature and history are major attractions to Fish Creek, too, as are the numerous shops downtown. The 3,700-acre Peninsula State Park, with its main entrance in the community, is considered one of the most beautiful parks in the state system, and both the park and the community offer stunning views of the bayfront. The Gibraltar Historical Association offers guided walking tours of Fish Creek and tours of Noble House Museum, a residence built in 1875.

It all began thirty six years ago when Dick and Carol Skare honeymooned in Door County. It was May of 1977 and they found Fish Creek to be a sleepy lake side town. One shopkeeper, Hazel Elliott, took the time to find out that Dick and Carol were aspiring restaurateurs who met while working side by side at a supper club near Minneapolis. She arranged for them to look at a small, twenty seat restaurant in downtown Fish Creek. “Door County is growing,” she told them, “get in now before the rush.”
“fresh food, expertly prepared” - Midwest Living “Best of the Midwest”
They took her advice and put in an offer. Two short months later, on the weekend of July 4, 1977, Dick and Carol opened the doors of The Cookery. Dick and Carol continue to operate the restaurant with their daughters Courtney and Karin. Throughout the years and today, the Skares maintain their original values, to incorporate fresh ingredients focusing on local products from Door County and to bring delicious, homemade food to their customers.

ephraim
Settled by Norwegian Moravians in 1853, Ephraim retains much of the austere architecture its fathers brought to the village. The Ephraim Historical Foundation holds summertime tours of five such restored and preserved buildings, collectively called the Ephraim Village Museums, as well as the Moravian Church and Historic Iverson House, built in 1854 and the oldest frame building standing in Door County. The village is dominated by its harbor, which hosts a number of water-related recreational activities and offers water views from shops, restaurants, galleries and more. In fact, the Hardy Gallery is on Anderson Dock, which juts out into the harbor. Just south of Ephraim is the north entrance to Peninsula State Park, which is the easiest way to get to the park’s renowned golf course.
42
As noted, many of Ephraim’s restaurants provide views of the harbor, whether you’re munching on a hot dog, lapping up some ice cream or trying something a little finer.

baileys harbor
This community came by its name quite literally, after Capt. Justice Bailey found refuge from a terrible Lake Michigan storm for his cargo- and passenger-laden ship in the harbor in 1848. The town that arose on the site a year later immortalizes that lifesaving event.
While the communities on the bay side of the Peninsula, along Wisconsin 42, get most of the attention from visitors, Baileys Harbor has its share of shops, galleries and restaurants, along with grand views of Lake Michigan. Cana Island Lighthouse, on a causeway that juts out from the town, still guides ships in the lake, as it has since 1870. Wetlands and wildlife abound in the area, with the Ridges Sanctuary hosting a large number of wildflowers, insects and birds. Family, casual and fine dining all are found in Baileys Harbor, and nearby Peninsula Center, at the intersection of County A and County E, is host to one of Door Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winning wineries.
