At the end of 2009, Tom Blackwood retired after 30 years of service supervising what many consider the crown jewel of the state’s 63 park, forest, and recreation areas system. Blackwood oversaw Peninsula State Park through an era that saw Door County boom as a vacation destination and condos proliferate, but the pristinely preserved park remains the first and deepest connection many have to Door County.
