Highly recommend this for family fun, probably better for older kids, not little ones. We booked a family glass blowing class with Jeremy. He is a patient, outstanding teacher. We booked a 3 hour class, he gave us a demonstration and then he worked with us on pieces. Very informative, made us feel at ease, safe and offered great suggestions on ways to make our pieces that more special. We were thrilled with the results when we picked up our pieces the next day. Everyone at the studio is very kind and the kids loved petting Whiskey, the studio dog. Now we have some great souvenirs of our trip to Door county including our own Christmas ornaments. Highly recommend and we will book again on our next trip.

Where Great Lakes maritime history comes alive! Located along Sturgeon Bay’s working waterfront, the Door County Maritime Museum showcases the area’s rich maritime roots. The museum features several interactive exhibits, as well as tours of the immaculately restored seagoing tugboat John Purves. Hard-working fishermen, brave ship captains, skilled craftsmen, bold inventors and lonely lighthouse keepers are just some of the personalities you’ll discover in the galleries of the museum.

This is a wonderful museum with some history of the town's contributions to the ship building industry and contributions to the war effort WWII. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours to take it all in. If you are lucky enough to be able to take a tour of the tug John Purvess, I would jump on it. Special thanks to Executive Director Osgood for taking time to conduct a non-scheduled tour of the tug John Purvess!!!! The museum is in safe hands with him.

The museum is full of exhibits, but not dissimilar from other historical museums in biggish cities. What makes it stand apart is a historical Fire Station - and it has real fire trucks inside too!

My family and I visited this place to see what life was like in the early 1900's. Fun place to visit that includes a blacksmith shop that is actually working!! Check ahead and you can take a blacksmith class.... maybe make a S hook that you get to take home. Wonderful homestead showing what life was really like. We really enjoyed our time here! $6 per person and 17 and under are FREE! Perfect for your family budget!
