A Cape Cod in Wisconsin? Meet Door County Does Cape Cod have a twin in Wisconsin? You betcha seems to be the answer, and the place is known as Door County. Here's how a 2017 USA Today story described the locale: "With an expansive shoreline dotted with boats and lighthouses, Door County has been called the Cape Cod of the Midwest. The 70-mile-long peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan incorporates dozens of islands, the largest of which is Washington Island. From Memorial Day to the end of October, Door County draws a big crowd." That vibe sure sounds familiar! Seeking a window into the world of Door County, I rang up Jon Jarosh, director of communications and public relations at the Door County Visitor Bureau. He described his corner of the world as a lovely mix of shoreline, quaint villages, public parklands, lighthouses and Mom and Pop-owned businesses.
