Throughout a dozen quaint harborside towns and the pastoral interior of the county, quality art galleries and studios reflect Door County, Wisconsin's deserved international reputation for culture in the country. The rich performing arts scene - from classical and jazz music to renowned theater troupes - garners national attention. The County is comprised of 19 municipalities, bordered by the waters of Green Bay to the west and Lake Michigan to the east.

The Door County, Wisconsin, peninsula enchants visitors with over 250 miles of shoreline, 11 golf courses, 5 State Parks, 17 County Parks, cherry and apple orchards and a world class cultural community. The narrow peninsula - only 75 miles long and 10 miles wide - provides an astonishing variety of attractions. Door County's unique draw to residents and visitors alike is its perfect blend of natural beauty, culture and hospitality. The peninsula's enthralling natural beauty and charm invite you to kick off your shoes for a peaceful stroll in the sand; to stargaze aboard a sailboat with the wind as your guide, or arouse your senses with abundant theater, music and art. Residents typically plan their evenings, weekends or (for our seasoned citizens) entire weeks visiting art galleries or golf courses, picking a delicious bucket of fresh cherries followed by a picnic on the beach or just watching Mother Nature's daily show; every day's an "off" day in lovely Door County, Wisconsin..

It's hardly surpirsing, then, that since the late 1800's the peninsula has been the destination of choice for Midwest travelers. Today visitors come from throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. One visit and it is easy to see why MONEY Magazine selected Door County as one of the top ten vacation destinations in North America.
