County of Door
Tornado Memorial County Park is a three-acre historical site located 10 miles south of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, dedicated to preserving the memory of Williamsonville, a town devastated by a firestorm on October 8, 1871, which coincided with the infamous Peshtigo Fire. The park features a large picnic area with grills and ample shady spots beneath the trees, providing a tranquil space for visitors to relax while reflecting on the area's poignant history.
Established in 1927, Tornado Memorial County Park stands as the first park in the Door County Park System, serving as a reminder of the past and honoring the 128 lives lost in the fire. With amenities such as a historical marker, picnic area, and restroom facilities, the park invites guests to explore its serene landscape and connect with the legacy of the region.
