Lake breezes, sparkling water, flapping sails, all provide a memorable backdrop for exploring Port Washington. Stroll the downtown, with its many preserved pre-Civil War buildings. You'll find unique shops and galleries, including some that will delight the "foodie" in you. Learn about our history while touring our 1860 lighthouse museum, or the newly opened Port Exploreum  - highly interactive, for all ages. Plus, several weekends this summer you can set sail on the tall ship Denis Sullivan, out of Port Washington's historic harbor. Imagine, sailing on an 1800's era schooner replica, out of a harbor that still looks much like it did back during that era.
