Discover Door County history through a unique 24-hour tour offering

Whether you are a visitor or resident, you can learn about history through a unique offering created by the Gibraltar Historical Association. Their audio tour, which is available around the clock, includes 23 sites that have stood the test of time.

 

“Fish Creek is a walkable village and people so often ask about the story behind many of these buildings,” said Laurie Buske, Director of the Gibraltar Historical Association, “you can put the rack card in your pocket and pull it out when you want to know more as you walk from shop to shop, or waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant, it’s so easy, fun, and brings history to all.”

 

Each stop, marked by a blue ceramic number tile, includes places such as the Fish Creek Market, Thorp House Inn, the Alexander Noble House, and Buske’s favorite, Asa Thorp’s cabin, which tells the story of how Fish Creek began. 

 

“Audio tours are the easiest way to discover history because it is as simple as dialing a phone number and punching in a code,” Buske added.

 

To access the free tour content, patrons can call into (920) 365-3711 on their mobile device and enter the site tile number followed by the “#” key. There is no limit to the number of times the tour can be accessed. Visitors can also download a free tour guide on the association website here, or pick one up at the Fish Creek Visitor Center.
