Eagle Harbor, Anderson Dock, village history, galleries, paddling, sailing, and Peninsula State Park
Things to do in Ephraim
Ephraim's best hours alternate between the shoreline and the bluff country: walk the harbor, step into seasonal history sites and galleries, then cross into Peninsula State Park for trails, tower views, beach time, or a bike ride.
Eagle Harbor shoreline
Walk between Ephraim Public Beach, Harborside Park, the visitor center, Firehouse Dock, and Anderson Dock. The water, sailboats, and Peninsula State Park horizon change with wind and afternoon light.
Village history
Anderson Store Museum, Anderson Barn History Center, Pioneer Schoolhouse, Goodletson Cabin, the Moravian cemetery, and old church streets reveal a settlement founded in the nineteenth century.
Galleries and village stops
The Hardy Gallery occupies the historic Anderson Dock warehouse in season. Small shops, cafés, parks, and white-painted civic and religious buildings reward a slow Water Street walk.
Peninsula State Park
The park immediately south of Ephraim adds Eagle Tower, high bluffs, twenty miles of hiking trails, eight miles of shore, Nicolet Bay, camping, golf, and bike routes.
History in the village fabric
Look beyond the postcard shoreline
Ephraim's harbor view is immediate, but the village becomes more interesting when Anderson Dock, the old store and barn, Moravian streets, cemetery, churches, schoolhouse, and cabins are read together. Museum openings are seasonal, so verify current hours with the Ephraim Historical Foundation.
