Sturgeon Bay’s Tie to the Green Bay Packers, Curly Lambeau, and NFL Cheerleaders

Curly Lambeau, Green Bay Packers founder, player and long time coach, passed away while mowing the lawn in front of the house at 522 Michigan Street on June 1, 1965. Curly Lambeau was a good friend of Mary Jane (VanDuyse) Sorgel who still owns this house. Mary Jane was a national baton twirling champion who joined the Packers in 1951 as a majorette. Vince Lombardi asked her to form a professional cheerleading group, the Golden Girls, who performed from 1961-1972. Many of the Golden Girls came from Mary Jane’s dance studio and were often seen practicing in the front yard of this house. Mary Jane is affectionately known as “The Original Golden Girl.”

An Experience Like No Other

Water Tours

Sturgeon Bay, Door County is located on a canal that connects the waters of Green Bay to the waters of Lake Michigan. This unique feature allows you to experience diverse water sports, parks and fishing without ever leaving your boat. In addition to our many water sport offerings and charter fishing opportunities, we have water tours that tour you from the waters of Green Bay to the waters of Lake Michigan.

You can choose between the historic Chicago Fireboat that departs from the Maritime Museum or a large luxury vessel, the Harbor Lady, docked behind Stone Harbor Resort and Conference Center. Both offer assorted types of cruises including morning, afternoon and cocktail sunset cruises. Perhaps you are visiting Sturgeon Bay for a conference, family reunion or wedding...what a great way to get out on the water and see the shores of Sturgeon Bay. You will have spectacular views of beautiful homes, extraordinary bluffs, historic and new state of the art bridges and of course the large freighters docked at Bay Ship.
