“Vacation with a Purpose”
Tucked away in the woods on the Lake side of Door County is Björklunden, a 441-acre satellite campus of Lawrence University. Billed as “a sanctuary of peace and contemplation”, Björklunden’s centerpiece is the gorgeous Boynton Chapel, a small wooden chapel built in a late 12th-century Norwegian stave church style. A tour of Boynton Chapel is highly recommended, but you can take your visit to the next level by signing up for one of the summer Seminars at Björklunden and put a purpose to your vacation this year.
Coming Up At Björklunden
Visit Our Lighthouses
With 300 miles of shoreline, Door County is imbued with rich maritime history. Our lighthouses serve as monuments to Door County’s place as a major navigational hub for shipping routes in Lake Michigan and beyond. The annual Lighthouse Festivals celebrate these structures and allow you to get a closer look.
