Very beautiful. The most beautiful place I have ever seen is door county Wisconsin.
Thank you for putting this online. As a Belgian working on my family tree, Wisconsin came popping up in some records. Although from the Flanders part of Belgium, a lot of migration between the several areas of Belgium also took place. Maybe some family members migrated to a Walloon town and ultimately, descendants came to Wisconsin. I loved hearing them talk Walloon. It is not totally comprehendable for me, but I do get the most of it. Also, the current region we call Wallonia has different regional languages: Wallon, Picard and Letzeburgish. And the food seems to be what my grand-parents used to eat. And we still do ourselves from time to time and especially during public events like the Kermesse (Kermiss). Thanks again.
my mother stayed in Door County at the family cottage. And she was intriqued by the mexican pickers that went from city to city picking fruit. When some of them asked her to pose for a photograph with their people, she always said yes and posed for many photos with the mexican pickers. The people who knew her family were very surprised. They asked her if she was afraid of them. And she said no, they are friendly. And she liked the people. my mother was a kind and generous woman and i miss her very much! Why can't i captalise these letters.
I live in San Diego, California, and before that I was raised in Hawai’i. Door county looks stunning, even in comparison to all I have grown to cherish in the places I’ve resided.
Beautiful video, thank you very much! My wife and I have been to Door County many times and always enjoy ourselves there. We usually go in the fall when the leaves are changing and it's breath taking.
As i Belgian and more especially as a Walloon (even tough i dont speak walloon) i would LOVE to visit this region and the Belgian Heritage Museum ! Wisconsin as a whole has been on my radar for quite some times due to his beautiful forests and lakes but now i know i have to visit one day , thanks for this video !
Some people call Door County the "Cape Cod of the Mid-West". I call Cape Cod "The Door Country of the East Coast". I make it a point to stay at the Penninsula State Part every October to view the Autumn leaves. Magnificant.
I love these videos. Thank you. I have never been to the area, but love everything about it.
Nice and cool in the summers
Joseph Zettel is my 2nd great grandfather.. loved this video
Very beautiful stayed in Egg Harbor last year so pretty. The sunsets are stunning.
Looks like a beautiful place esp all the walking hiking and outdoor activities
Great videos!
My dad told me the Pestigo fire was fed by the slash and waste trees left by the loggers that took only the big trees. True, I don't know.
Cool it's talking about door county
Love from milwaukee love are state
"our"
Do you ever do videos about Jefferson county or dodge county? I was born in Watertown Wisconsin

It’s an incredible shame how they’ve ruined Door Co. the last 25 years. As stated in the video it started in the 70’s but has accelerated at an unbelievable rate the last 25 years. It is hardly recognizable as the place I once knew and where 4 generations of my family spent their time. It’s now to wealthy Chicagoans what the Hamptons are to wealthy New Yorkers.
I know how you feel. My great grandparents and family lived in DC . It IS sad that they overbuilt it. I love to visit, but I always feel some loss when I go, thinking of what it used to be.😢
"laid back" Door County
history repaved in multiple contradictions, Is iconstusing! Either Columbus discovered American or the indians lived here first but not both? And, Where does God fit in? How many years? Pure conjecture! The story is what you say it is. Make it up as you go, PBS! Nice to have reliable history we can depend pn!
LOL and Leif Erickson was in Newfoundland 400 years b4 Columbus!
Pretty crappy that loggers took all the native trees. It was too greedy for my taste.
I've lived in 20 states. This county here is more racist than any inherent place I have ever ever ever been to.
Are you sure?
Pls elaborate
Curt, sounds to me like you moved around alot.
Maybe these hard working folks just don't like your type!😰
@@mikebrubaker395 my type. Yes that's the problem lmao. I'm white but nice to know you endorse racism. Why are they "hard working" folks? Do you know them? Seems you generalize and are just racist all around. Next time just shut up. No wisdom could come from you.
@@mikebrubaker395was this necessary, was this kind and do you know it to be true? These hardworking people of whom you speak….wouldn’t have said it.
