Welcome to the Town of Sevastopol web site!

The Town of Sevastopol is located in central Door County, Wisconsin.  The town hall is located at 4528 State Highway 57 (Institute), Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235.  The City of Sturgeon Bay and Town of Sturgeon Bay are at ts southern boundary (County T) and the Towns of Jacksonport and Egg Harbor to the north (Town Line Road). Our eastern boundary is beautiful Lake Michigan and on the west the peaceful Bay of Green Bay. We have a mixture of family farm operations, rural residential, undeveloped natural areas, and State and County parks. Our nearly 50 square miles is home to approximately 2,680 year-around residents--plus a substantial number of seasonals, and more than 80 local business offerings. 

Most of our food establishments, pubs, businesses and lodging providers are open year-around.  You're invited to visit any time of year.  If you become really passionate about Sevastopol, it is a great place to live and the Sevastopol School District is committed to high education standards, "Pioneering the Next Generation."

If you are wondering about the origin of  "Sevastopol," it is the namesake of a feisty Southern Russian port on the Black Sea, originally "Sebastopol" which in 1855 withstood and was victorious in a tussle with the British and French.  Through a slip of the pen, "v" was substituted for the "b."

Attractions & Special Events for 2012

On Sunday, February 19th, 2012, the Sevastopol Historical Society presented Logging Tools from the Late 1800's in the community room at the town hall in Institute.  Lumberjack brothers Mike and Pat Madden played hosts to a full house (over 100 in attendance), displaying many old-time tools and demonstrating how they were used.  The program was free, with everyone welcome to attend.  A wide assortment of refreshments were served.  You can view the recording at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soVjPeL0Hbo

    This was the second presentation by the Sevastopol Historical Society, following in the footsteps of the "Bassford Family History" on September 12th of 2011.  That program was also well attended, with a history lesson on the Bassford pioneers who settled in Sevastopol in 1859.

      Thanks for supporting our historical society!

Door County Coastal Byway

Highways 42 and 57 just north of Sturgeon Bay now comprise the newest Wisconsin Scenic Byway!  The 60+ mile loop begins in the Town of Sevastopol at the highway "split" at the traffic lights and travels to the northern tip of Door County.  Highway 57 runs along the east side of the peninsula and Highway 42 along the west side, beckoning visitors to stop at friendly hamlets and enjoy the natural beauty, due in major part to the Niagara Escarpment.   Check out the Door County Coastal Byway website under "Links" to your left.
