Hear from City Engineer Roger Strohm about the Pierhead Light restoration project that completed late last year and get an up close look at the Breakwater and Light, along with panoramic views of the shoreline and marina.

MARITIME HISTORY & SHIPWRECK COAST

Learn from Russ Green, Superintendent of the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary, about the sanctuary and the ways to experience the shipwrecks from land, like at the interactive exhibit in the Port Washington Historical Society. Port Washington is the southern gateway into the sanctuary and has many interesting shipwrecks resting off its shore.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Sherper's owner Nate Scherper gives Stephanie and idea of the outdoor adventure that awaits in this coastal town. Watch as they head to South Beach to launch a kayak and enjoy the lakefront.
