DOOR COUNTY WI
Door County is a unique gem that can't be found anywhere else in the Midwest! Its old school charm and maritime theme has been preserved intentionally by very forward thinking developers for decades. Door County has not changed much since the 1960's. You won't find any kwik trips, wal marts, or menards stores north of Sturgeon Bay WI and that is on purpose.
