A vacation with a focus
Lawrence University Seminar Center | Door County, Wisconsin
Björklunden is a 425-acre estate on the Lake Michigan shore just south of Baileys Harbor in Door County, Wisconsin. A place of great beauty and serenity, the estate was bequeathed to Lawrence University in 1963 by Donald and Winifred Boynton of Highland Park, Illinois. Since 1980, Lawrence has offered a series of adult-education seminars at Björklunden.
The 37,000-square-foot lodge contains a great room, multi-purpose and seminar rooms, dining room, kitchen, as well as 22 guest rooms. There are two lakeside decks, a second-story observation deck, an elevator, and a computer lab. The entire facility has wireless Internet access and plenty of parking.
This magnificent, year-round facility also allows Lawrence University, an undergraduate liberal arts college and conservatory of music, to extend its mission through weekend student-faculty seminars. These popular Björklunden seminars are now in their 13th year.
Winifred Boynton captured the enduring spirit of Björklunden when she said of her beloved summer home: “Far removed from confusion and aggression, it offers a sanctuary for all.”
