You cannot perceive beauty but with a serene mind.
– Henry David Thoreau

In a tumultuous time in history, when the world feels chaotic and ugly, we present a special issue about beauty. The beauty of nature, which connects all of us in unity on this planet. Door County specializes in beauty, which provides serenity of mind for our guests and residents, no matter the season. If the season happens to be the heart of summer, as it is now, Door County’s beauty overflows – from the deep green bluffs to the limestone caves and beyond.
