Discover Door County’s Rich Past with the New Heritage Trail Pass

June 16, 2025 – Door County, WI.  Destination Door County is excited to introduce the Heritage Trail Pass, a free, mobile-based experience that invites users to explore 28 historic and cultural sites across the peninsula.

From lighthouses and maritime museums to Belgian chapels and local history centers, each stop on the self-guided trail helps tell the story of Door County’s rich past. As users check in at each location using the pass on their phone, they’ll earn points toward prizes like a sticker pack (7 stops) or a canvas tote bag (14 stops).

There’s no app to download, just sign up and start exploring from your mobile browser. The pass is free, available year-round, and designed to deepen visitor connections with the people and places that shaped Door County.

“As we look for new ways to enhance the visitor experience, the Heritage Trail Pass offers a meaningful and engaging way to explore what makes Door County so special,” said Julie Gilbert, President & CEO of Destination Door County. “It’s not just about sightseeing, it’s about uncovering the stories, and moments that bring our history to life.”

The Heritage Trail Pass will debut at the Door County History Days kick-off event on Monday, June 16 at 9 a.m. at the Belgian Heritage Center. Door County History Days, June 16-22 this year, is an annual weeklong celebration of history and heritage on the Door Peninsula. This year's fourth annual event is featuring 20-plus nonprofit organizations that will be hosting more than 30 special programs across the county.

Information about the Heritage Trail Pass is available at doorcounty.com/heritage-trail, on rack cards at community welcome centers and historic sites throughout the county, and on all Door County social media channels.
