Our very own Richard Dorner is quoted in the article. Shipwrecks are a part of Kewaunee County's History, and they keep finding more and more.

A historic shipwreck off the Lakeshore is now thrilling diving enthusiasts, and just earned a state honor

Here is a great new book that includes the Jail Museum. Check it out.

What a journey it’s been. After weeks on the road and over a year of research and writing, 30 Haunted Nights in Wisconsin is finally out in the world. 🌙👻

From historic hotels to abandoned asylums and quiet backroads, we visited every location in the book—documenting history, listening to stories, and experiencing the strange and unexplainable firsthand. This project is the result of countless miles, late nights, and a passion for uncovering the haunted history that lingers all around us.

We’re beyond grateful to finally share it with you. Every book sold helps support Haunted US so we can keep traveling, photographing, and telling the stories of haunted places across the country. Thank you for being part of this adventure. ❤️

📖 30 Haunted Nights in Wisconsin is available now.
