Located in northeastern Wisconsin, this area contains the Nation's largest known concentration of Belgian-influenced farmsteads, other rural buildings, and landscapes features. Namur is a lively ethnic enclave where French is still spoken with a Walloon accent, and where the heritage of the area is evident in food and ethnic festivals. Although Belgian settlement of the area dates to the 1850s, most of the buildings were constructed after the great Peshtigo Fire of 1871.
