Door County makes up the largest segment of Wisconsin’s famous peninsula and is one of my favorite summer getaways. Door County has the most lighthouses (11), the most miles of shoreline (250), and the most state parks (5) of any county in the contiguous United States! It is also the location of the infamous “Death’s Door Passage”, one of the reasons why there are so many lighthouses concentrated there.
My illustrated map includes a few more lighthouses that can be found on the greater Door Peninsula. National Lighthouse Day is on Aug. 7 and some of these lighthouses offer special access inside (they are otherwise off-limits to the public).
