Washington Island – Lake Michigan

We continue visiting Great Lakes islands and in this episode, we visit the Isle of Icelanders.

We venture out to Washington Island, just off the Door Peninsula in Door County, Wisconsin. Washington Island is settled by many nationalities, but Icelanders made it home and the second oldest Icelandic settlement in the United States.

We started by taking the Washington Island Ferry across Death’s Door, camp on the island, visit the Stavkirke (Stave Church), Lookout Mountain, School House Beach, the Farm Museum, Lavender Farm and a few of the islanders.
