Day 3 Sheboygan
A busy port on Lake Michigan, Sheboygan is the site of Sheboygan Indian Mound Park, which contains several animal-shaped ceremonial mounds that were constructed between AD 500 and 1000. The Sheboygan County Historical Museum has several buildings from the 1800s, including a cheese factory.
South of Sheboygan is Kohler/Andrae State Park, which offers access to Lake Michigan as well as hiking trails. Just inland from Kohler/Andrae is the northern section of Kettle Moraine State Forest, a glacier-carved landscape with lots of lakes. Southwest of Sheboygan, the village of Kohler is home to the American Club, a resort which boasts two award-winning golf courses and the Kohler Waters Spa. Take a factory tour to learn how Kohler tubs and faucets are made, or plan your dream kitchen in the Kohler Design Center. Sheboygan is 50 mi/80 km north of Milwaukee.
Day 4 At Sea
Day 5 Escanaba
Day 6 Green Bay
The oldest city in the state, Green Bay was founded by missionaries in 1669. Throughout its history, the town's strategic position at the head of Green Bay made it a vital transportation and shipping center.
For most people, though, it's the Packers, Green Bay's National Football League team, that put the city on the map. Fittingly, the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame is a prime attraction, relating the history of one of the NFL's oldest teams and one of its most beloved (both inside and outside Wisconsin). Tours of nearby Lambeau Field, the Packers' stadium, are also available. It's hard to leave town without a Packers souvenir. Green Bay's fans are known as Cheeseheads, and their yellow foam hats (resembling a wedge of cheddar) are hard to miss.
Green Bay makes a convenient stop on the way to or from the Door Peninsula.
