Door County Maritime Museum

"Wow! What a nice museum! Pleasantly surprised by the quality and information given! Plus it has a great view from the top!"

"Wonderful museum with a great view of sturgeon Bay. Has a fantastic simulator to let you try your hand at driving a large boat through the bay. Museum also contains the original Fresnel lens from the Raleigh Point Lighthouse. The tug was closed for the season, maybe next time."

"Huge museum, we enjoyed about 3 hours there. We didn't expect to be there for so long but were pleasantly surprised. We paid $5 extra for the tour of the tug boat and that was so worth it! It was great to see the restoration work up close and really appreciated all the history included in the tour. Going up and down through the tower was also a very nice aspect of the museum. We learned a ton of maritime history and had fun."

"This is a very nice museum. There is a lot to see here and read. We did the Tugboat tour also and I would highly recommend it. It took five years to restore it to the beauty it is today"

"We are tourists from Kansas visiting the area and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed learning about Maritime history at this museum. The museum is well-organized and informative, with exhibits that are laid out in a logical order. We started at the top of the lighthouse tower and worked our way down, with each floor offering a new exhibit. We were so fascinated by all the information that we could have easily spent all day here. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. In our opinion, this is one of the best museums we have visited. If you’re a fan of museums, you won’t want to miss this one!"
