Ephraim Historic District

National Register of Historic Places
Good forHistory buffs

Founded in 1853 by Norwegian Moravians on the western shore of Eagle Harbor, Ephraim has maintained strict zoning ordinances since 1948 requiring buildings to be white or naturally weathered wood — which explains why the nearly uniform white streetscape exists and why the one brown building in the village is, by local reputation, the easiest address in town to give directions to.
