Door County is renowned for its scenic paddling and stunning coastlines. In the 19th century, those quiet coastlines were the scene of bustling activity, with nearly 70 ports exporting timber, stone, and other goods and bringing in Euro-American farming and working families. Most of the small ports have vanished into history, but some have left echoes behind. The remains of some of the most spectacular of Door County’s Lake Michigan ghost ports are accessible to paddlers and visitors, and lie in waters that can be crystal-clear. Come hear Wisconsin Historical Society archaeologists tell the story of how Door County became Door County, and how you can visit the Ghost Ports of the Door.
