[edit] Airports/Transportation

I added a few links for the county airports, Door County Cherryland Airport and Ephraim-Fish Creek Airport. I recently created the Cherryland Airport article, and if anybody has more info on the airfield, please update the article. Also, if there is more information on any airports in Door County, I think that would be a valuble addition to the article..just my two cents. Luke119 01:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

I added the template for expansion because I think more information on why folks vacation in Door County would be interesting; if not on this page, then on the individual cities' pages. I've never been up there so I don't really know that much. HollyAm 17:41, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Native Americans in Door County

If this article is going to talk about the Amerindians in Door County, I don't think it should jump from the 13th century to the "1800s". I don't like treating them like Brigadoon. The Door Peninsula and its islands feature in the westward migrations of North American Indians during the early historical period, with groups from the east displacing and replacing groups from the west. That Amerindians once lived on the Door Peninsula but now generally don't is a sort of truism and applies to the U.S. generally. It does not convey any information.

How many Native Americans lived in Door County in 1830 and how many were "removed" by the Indian Removal Act. What specific treaties conveyed what become Door County to the federal or territorial governments? When were they enacted? If unknown, try early 19th century or late 19th century.

Also, generally, the 1800s should be avoided. In 1801, Great Britain still controlled that part of the world. By 1899, the earlier part of the century was as unimaginable to those alive as 1899 is to us today. -Acjelen 21:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tourism

Please keep an eye out for people changing tourism to terrorism on some articles, including this one. Is that suppose to be cool or something? -Keandobus 21:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to revert the stuff in the Tourism section about F***ing Illinois sh** heads.. since it very clearly does not add anything to this article and seems really out of place for an encyclopedia. BenFFoster 20:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
