Travel Back in Time to Sheboygan

Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, Sheboygan saw immense growth in the mid-1800s. Cheese and chairs have been big parts of the economy over the years. The best fun fact: in 1970, after a tough battle with Bucyrus, Ohio, it was named Bratwurst Capital of the World.
