Door County
Tornado Memorial County Park, located 10 miles south of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, is a serene three-acre park featuring a large picnic area, grills, and ample shaded spaces for relaxation. Established in 1927, it serves to memorialize the lost town of Williamsonville, which was tragically destroyed in the Peshtigo Fire of 1871.
The park not only offers visitors a place to unwind but also preserves the history of Williamsonville and its residents, highlighting the devastating impact of the firestorm that claimed 128 lives. Today, it stands as a historical monument, maintained by the Door County Parks Department, ensuring that the legacy of the area and its past is remembered.
