Now open, the Jim Kress Maritime Lighthouse Tower. See Door County like never before! Located along Sturgeon Bay's working waterfront, the Door County Maritime Museum showcases the area's rich maritime roots. The museum features interactive exhibits, and offers tours of the restored tug-boat John Purves.
