It may be small in size, but Wisconsin’s Washington Island is big on community and charm.
 |
| A ride on the Cherry Train (pulled behind the red pickup of longtime island resident Ed Livingston) is the best way to get acquainted with the history of Washington Island. |
 |
| Located in an old schoolhouse, the island’s Art and Nature Center features a gallery of local artwork, as well as exhibits on nearby flora and fauna. |
 |
| The polished white pebbles of Schoolhouse Beach give it an unforgettable vista. (But don’t even think about putting one in your pocket to take home as a souvenir—it’s illegal!) |
 |
| Climb to the highest point on the island (the Lookout Tower at Mountain Park), and you’ll be rewarded with views that stretch on for miles. |
 |
| The Scandinavian architecture of the Stavkirke (a church built entirely by community volunteers) is an homage to the island’s status as the first Icelandic settlement founded in North America. |
 |
| A weathered road sign outside Nelsen’s Hall cheekily makes reference to the tavern’s most famous drink, Angostura Bitter’s, a 90-proof stomach tonic that was served under a pharmacy license during prohibition. |
