Anderson Dock
A working dock and warehouse on Eagle Harbor, famous for the names and marks left on its walls. It remains the village's gathering point and the best place to watch boats come and go.

See and do in Ephraim
Anderson Dock, the Ephraim Historical Foundation museums and walking tours, and the village's waterfront.
History you can walk through
Ephraim's sights are close together and mostly free to look at from the street. The historical foundation adds the context: who settled here, why the village looks the way it does, and how the harbour shaped daily life.
The essentials
Ephraim Historical Foundation
The foundation operates historic museum sites and offers guided walking and tram tours. Its Anderson Barn Museum holds changing exhibits on migration and settlement in Door County.
Good to know Check the programme calendar; tours and museum hours vary by season.
Eagle Harbor waterfront
The harbour edge is a sequence of small public spaces and lanes. The view across the water to Peninsula State Park's bluffs is the village's defining prospect.
