First settled in 1851 as a lumber town centered around the local sawmill, Algoma became the home of the largest commercial fishing fleet on Lake Michigan by the late 19th century. Today, the town's numerous charter-boat operators take sport fishermen for excursions on Lake Michigan. Along the waterfront, you'll see the picturesque red lighthouse (1893) and the weathered and worn Art Dettman Fish Shanty, a remnant of the fish shanties that dotted the Lake Michigan shore in the 1920s. Swimming, sunbathing, and sand castle-building are popular at Crescent Beach.
You can also tour the historic von Stiehl Winery, the oldest winery in Wisconsin.
