Worth The Stop

While up in the Sturgeon Bay area, we visited the Door County Historical Museum. We were astounded by this little museum. The exhibits are interesting, the museum is thoughtfully planned to make use of every available inch of space, and it's free!

Of the many, many exhibits, a couple really stood out from the rest (at least for me).

First, there were some fiber-related exhibits.







I really enjoyed that the museum made an effort to have a photo of the person to whom the item belonged.

This next item was quite a curiosity for me. For those of you who are looking for that hard-to-shop-for-loved-one or for the person who has everything -



Any of you recognize what this is?



Yes, you read that correctly.

A human hair wreath. Fascinating and, at the same time, a bit creepy.

Part of the museum has exhibits focusing on men from the area who fought in the civil war. This quirky bloke caught my interest.



To fully appreciate why he caught my attention, click the photo to enlarge and read the short biography.
