Lawrence University offers its facilities at Björklunden for use by nonprofit and business groups as well as for private parties. Located just south of Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin in picturesque Door County, the site accommodates a wide variety of seminars, meetings, and special events, including weddings. It is available for use throughout the year.


The magnificent two-story, 37,000-square-foot, lakeside lodge contains a great room, three seminar rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, and 22 guest rooms. There are two lakeside decks, a third-story observation deck, an elevator, catering kitchen, and a computer lab. The entire facility has wireless broadband Internet access, ample parking, and ADA accessibility. Our on-site Chef can prepare meals for your party if desired. With the largest solar array in Door County, a wind turbine, and over 400 acres of woodland, we are a carbon neutral facility.
