Homes for Sale in Ephraim, Door County, Wisconsin 54211.    Why Do People Choose the Village of Ephraim in Door County, Wisconsin? Why People Live Here. Ephraim is the smallest Village in northern Door County, with a year-round population of under 300 people according to the 2010 US Census (the populations swells to a few thousand in the summer months) and the only "dry" community in the State of Wisconsin (no alcohol is sold or served).  That doesn't mean it isn't consumed in private residences and parties (Ephraim is well-known for its gracious entertaining), but the Village of Ephraim is a thriving and well-maintained part of Door County that has managed without tourism dollars from alcohol very well.  From charming cottages to large shore front estates, Ephraim has managed to charm ...

A crazy, great Wisconsin idea--the Frostbite Open at The Red Putter in Ephraim on New Years Day (no matter what the weather)!  If you haven't visited The Red Putter Miniature Golf Course in Door County, you're missing out on a classic miniature golf course that has been in business for decades.  It's great family fun, and offers 18 holes to put around or through, including a Door County lighthouse, a classic Wisconsin farm.  No matter what the temperature, the Third Annual Frostbite Open will be held on New Years Day and a new champion may be crowned.  This event is conveniently held after Jacksonport Polar Bear Plunge (more to follow on that event soon).  Registration and practice will be held from 10 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., and play begins at 2 p.m.  For an entry fee of $25.00, you will pl...

  THIS WEEK IN DOOR COUNTY   Where in Door County, Wisconsin can you enjoy an ice cream cone from an establishment that's over 100 years old, watch a sunset for free, and enjoy a fish boil in a building that used to be an old post office?  This week we feature EPHRAIM. In celebration of their Christmas festivities on Saturday, December 3, 2011, we have focused on the current real estate opportunities in Ephraim, and have information readily available for discussion.    A small community (and Wisconsin's only "non-alcoholic" ('dry') municipality), the charming Village of Ephraim is nestled in the heart of the Door County Peninsula, between the Village of Sister Bay and the Town of Gibraltar (Fish Creek). Settled in 1853 by Norwegian Moravians on shores of Eagle Harbor, Ephraim takes gre...
