Baraboo... and family history

Porte does Morts

This area is alled Door County from it being called Death''s Door by early French fur trappers because of the dangerous narrow channel. A ship building factory is still here. It has built many very famous ships...

Wisconsin Door County

Beautiful peninsula. Harbors and bays were idyllic. Loved Swedish areas... and enjoyed learning about the goats eating on Al Johnson's restaurant roof. Visited the maritime museum, and learned about lots of local culture. Favorites for food here: pasties, dried white fish, frozen custard, boiled lobsters (called fish boils).... Forests here have more evergreen coniferous forests than in Michigan. Clean, beautiful towns and homes.

Staying on the Island....

When you land at the dock, a porter picks up the suitcases and brings them to your room!
