We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Ellison Bay Pottery and our conversation with John as we shopped! It was great to hear some of the history of the shop and his knowledge as an artisan!

We make and sell pottery in our restored apple barn in Northeast Wisconsin, on the Door Peninsula. We make functional, every day pottery in our gas kiln. Additionally we fire decorative ceramics outside in both our pit-fire and raku 'kilns'.

We have visited this gallery over several years. They always have new and interesting designs and colors of pottery. John and Diane each have their own style and are interesting to hear their backgrounds. The pieces we have are durable with no breaks using every week. Definitely a top gallery in Door.

The Lindens travel back and forth to China and the Far East for small treasures and spectacular finds displayed in their gallery each year on Hwy 42. This year, we were entranced by some of the 3-4 foot root carvings, fabric work including clothing, small vessels recovered from a 1000-year old sunken ship, jewelry, painted curio jars and stone boxes, and hand-constructed furniture. The gallery is displayed over two floors of what I believe was an former church. In the past we have purchased painted curio jars, calligraphy brushes, Asian art books and wall prints. In past years, we have admired petrified fossils, desktop statues of Chairman Mao and meditation stones. This year, we almost purchased a wood print pattern of women working that was tucked up into a corner of the stairway. May be on the next trip. Considering the quality of the art and artifacts, the prices are more than reasonable. In a big city gallery, you could expect to pay two to three times the price you find at the Linden Gallery. As others have mentioned, you might want to call ahead since the gallery is only open during the high season. When you are done with the tour (and purchases), take a little time to walk through the gardens surrounding the building. These landscapes were expertly designed and installed some years ago and have grown into mature meditation gardens. These Asian-inspired gardens are a marked contrast to the American and English-inspired annual and perennial beds found in most Door County villages. Something a little different is a good thing.

Where Great Lakes maritime history comes alive! Located along Sturgeon Bay’s working waterfront, the Door County Maritime Museum showcases the area’s rich maritime roots. The museum features several interactive exhibits, as well as tours of the immaculately restored seagoing tugboat John Purves. Hard-working fishermen, brave ship captains, skilled craftsmen, bold inventors and lonely lighthouse keepers are just some of the personalities you’ll discover in the galleries of the museum

My husband and I visited and loved learning about the maritime history in the area. This place was well organized and had a friendly staff that was willing to answer any questions we had.
