Another short day of travel brought us to the charming town of Egg Harbor.
Mostly just did boat chores and relaxed. We walked up town to get some lunch and settled on trying the Shipwrecked Brew Pub/Inn. Promoted as Door County’s only microbrewery we figured we better have a brewski.
The pub’s history and ghosts are evidently well known in these parts. Not that I would ever question the reliability of information printed on the back of a menu, but… The pub was built back in the late 1800’s and evidently there are tunnels and caves beneath it. Al Capone and his gang used to come up here when they needed to disappear for a while. Capone would use the tunnels to make a fast get away if need be. In the 1920’s two IRS agents came here to arrest Capone. They evidently got “lost” in the tunnels and were never seen again.
Capon had an illegitimate son named Jason who was going to turn Capon over to the authorities. Before it happened though, Jason’s body was found hanging from the attic rafters of the inn. His death was believed a murder rather than a suicide. It is said his ghost use to appear on the roof.
Walking back to the marina we noticed that there was going to be a concert in the park at 5.
