History of Al Johnson's
As you top the hill and head down the main street in Sister Bay, one can not help but get excited. For right in the middle of town, you will spot the goats on the roof at Al Johnson's! This grassy roof and those goats have drawn tourists and locals alike. Read about Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant's over 58 years of rich history in this town and county!

A converstaion between Al Johnson and Norbert Blei
Good friends and Door County Icons Al Johnson and Norbert Blei cover allot of material in this almost hour-long discussion of Door County past and present. Among the topics: the “counter culture” at Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant, Emma Husby, Eddie Valentine, Wink Larson, Baldy Bridenhagen, Ingert Johnson and the Johnson family, condominiums and of course - goats on one’s roof. Barbara Luhring listens in to this fascinating and many times hilarious conversation. You should listen in too.
