Every morning as I drive to work, I am amazed at how lucky I am to live in such a beatiful area.  And, I also drive by some old time Door County landmarks….Maxwelton Braes Golf Course, the sign advertising Gordon Lodge, and on my final mile, the Patio drive in. These beautiful pieces of Door County are still here and going strong. Golfing at Maxwelton is still a rare treat and then going in to the club house and dining at the Highland Club…such style. Gordon Lodge, on the water, has one of the best restaurants in the county. Their Top Deck restaurant has been serving food  and serving as an entertainment destination for over 50 years! And of course the Patio drive in. They have some of the best food around. Their soup is home-made and delicous…they also make a “jim-dandy” (who says that anymore?) malted milkshake.  All of these landmarks are on highway 57 and are worth visiting while on your way up to Pheasant Park.  Visit our specials page for packages with some of these historic Door County destinations.  And, I did not know that the founder of “Second City“, Paul Sills,  lived in Door County…Baileys Harbor to be exact!
