Sturgeon Bay, Port city in Door County, Wisconsin.
Sturgeon Bay extends across both sides of its namesake waterway, connecting Lake Michigan to Green Bay through the Door Peninsula.
The city's shipyards maintained continuous production during World War II, completing one naval vessel every five days to support military operations.
The Door County Maritime Museum presents multiple exhibits about local shipping history, featuring a 149-foot tower overlooking the waterfront district.
Visitors access three different shopping districts throughout the city, with numerous stores concentrated along Third Avenue, Madison Avenue, and Jefferson Street.
The waters surrounding Sturgeon Bay rank among the top locations for bass fishing, leading to the selection as ESPN bass tournament championship site.
