We visited Ridges Sanctuary on a snowy morning, so we practically had the whole outdoor area to…read moreourselves. That is, with the exception of a nature preschool that was hiking through the snowy woods, playing and exploring as they went. I was informed later that Door County (or perhaps the town or state) subsidizes nature preschool, so anyone who wants to attend can attend for free. I love that! Apparently, this preschool uses the sanctuary as one of their spots to learn outdoors. I did a lot of learning as I explored Ridges Sanctuary, as well. I started off at the nature center and checked out their little exhibit area, which shows information about Bailey's Harbor and the critters, flora and fauna that call the area home. The 1,600-acre natural preserve has five miles of trails and bridges that lead to the Bailey's Harbor Range Lights. One cool thing about the park is that it has a wooden boardwalk that is ADA-compliant and accessible for people who use wheelchairs. The boardwalk is wide and even, and it will take you all around the park, and even to to a spot with great views of the lighthouse. The preserve grounds and nature center are free, so this is definitely a great place to visit when you're in Door County.

On our way to Door County I knew I needed to stop at this museum given my ancestors emigrated from…read moreBelgium to northern Wisconsin in the late 1800's. We happened to show up on the weekend they were honoring the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo Fire. We caught the last few minutes of a talk and then saw a new video they made about the fire. It was very good and very informative. If not for the movie the center itself was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for more having been to the excellent Luxembourg-American museum in Belgium Wisconsin (go figure out that one). [You must be wondering do I only tour Wisconsin-based museums of small Northern European countries. No but my wife is of Luxembourg descent so that is why...] Anyway the people were friendly and the few displays were interesting I was just expecting a bit more content.

From the owner: We are open by appointment only November through April. Open May 22 thru October, Friday -…read moreSaturday, 10am to 3pm or by appointment. We tell the story of the Belgian settlement in Wisconsin and work to preserve unique elements of Belgian culture such as foods, beverages, customs, architecture and the Walloon language. Located in the former St. Mary of the Snows church which was a cornerstone of the historic Belgian settlement. The building is located in the Namur Historic District that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a National Landmark by the US Department of Interior. Also tour the former convent and parochial school (c.1894) adjacent to the heritage center.
