Our first stop will be the most unusual one on Washington Island. Imagine an Ostrich farm on an island! The Double KW Ranch has proved a favorite for tourists. It represents the pioneering spirit which founded this Island in the first place. Those birds even survive our winters. Find out how many and why from your hosts Wayne, Kristi and Katie. The antics of the ostriches and other residents entertain the whole family. You'll see potbellied pigs, Barbados sheep, miniature donkeys, pygmy goats, a wallaby monkey and baby reindeer. A tour of the farm is offered for $1.00 per adult. It is a short walk from here to the main business district.
