I bring my special needs friend several times each season, and the experience is always incredible. The owner and drivers don't just treat us like customers. They treat us like friends. They always take the time to catch up with us, remember us, and make every ride feel special. Their kindness and genuine care have meant so much over the years. One of the most meaningful things they've ever done was "naming" a trolley after us because they knew how much my friend loves the trolleys. It's a memory we'll cherish forever and speaks volumes about the heart behind this business. Door County Trolley offers a variety of fun tours...something for everyone!! What truly sets them apart is the people. They create lasting memories and make everyone feel welcome. I can't recommend them highly enough and look forward to many more tours riding with them!

In 1880, the Pioneer Schoolhouse was built. It was only half the size of the building that is standing today. Cordelia Burt was the first teacher in this school. She was paid $7 per week. Miss Burt had 33 students in grades 1 through 8. By the 1920s and 1930s, there were 45 to 68 students enrolled at the schoolhouse. The Goodletson Cabin was built approximately in 1855 on Eagle Island (now Horseshoe Island) by Norwegian immigrant Thomas Goodletson and his family. It was skidded across the ice in the 1860s to the foot of the bay near where the Ephraim Condominiums are now located. Thomas and his wife Kjesten had nine children. Many early meetings of the Bethany Lutheran Church were held in the cabin before the church was built in the 1880s. The Bethany Ladies Aid was founded in the cabin, and Mrs. Goodletson was the first treasurer. The Goodletson family lived in the cabin until the late 1800s.
