Description
Abandoned POW camp in Door County, WI, near Ellison Bay. I've found references that this was a POW camp housing German prisoners during WWII. Some of the buildings had old stoves and refrigerators in them but were so dilapidated it was unsafe to get photos. Interesting history, the German prisoners were used to harvest cherries and work on local farms. The prisoners were guarded but not locked up. Many of the prisoners befriended local residents and a few were have said to migrate to Door County after the war. In late 2013 or early 2014 a storm blew most of the ruins down. As of mid 2015 every remnant was removed from the site.
