Door County is more of a Chicago getaway, but I have been a few times so some limited recommendations:
You should know about the cliffs on the Green Bay side of the county because incredibly it's the same feature that Niagara Falls spills over, see https://wgnhs.wisc.edu/pubshare/GS22-intro.pdf
Only open on weekends, The Clearing is a nice stop, https://theclearing.org/wp/visit/
The Ridges is subtle but may interest https://www.ridgessanctuary.org/
Peninsula State Park has good hikes https://peninsulastatepark.org/?gad_...MaAmUnEALw_wcB

I visited the Door Peninsula once and enjoyed it. Very scenic. There is the Cana Island Lighthouse and Ephraim which was founded in 1853 by Moravian settlers (several original buildings remain). You can ride bikes in Peninsula State Park.

Door County is a wonderful getaway for everyone. Some of our favorites are Wild Tomato Pizza https://wildtomatopizza.com/ in Sister Bay and Fish Creek. Also Bayside Tavern https://baysidetavern.com/ in Fish Creek. If you enjoy hiking, any of the state parks, county parks and the Ridges. Be sure to check out Cave Point. Also Washington Island and Rock Island are fun excursions.
Where are you staying in Port Washington? This AirBnB is gorgeous: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/727014939277388164. Be sure to walk downtown for an evening ice cream cone at Frankie's https://meetmeatfrankies.com/.
