Bayfield, Wisconsin
Bayfield sits on Lake Superior’s shores and has a deeply rooted maritime history. The Bayfield Maritime Museum decodes this history through a group of volunteer guides and explores the Apostle Islands’ past.
The Apostle Islands are a collection of 21 islands, including historic lighthouses, sandstone cliffs, sea caves, and much more. The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is a federal preservation that protects the unique islands and maintains their pristine condition.
Other attractions include the annual Big Top Chautauqua held every summer and a historic downtown area. The middle of this charming town in the Great Lakes area is a fun and artsy place to wander around and discover local art galleries and shops.
The Bayfield Artists Guild features work from approximately 20 local artists, pottery, and sculptures. If you decide to visit, you’ll truly get a feeling of the communal spirit of this charming town in the Great Lakes area.
