Statement of Significance (as of designation - December 14, 1990):
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.

Condition:
The Landmark, in multiple private ownership, is threatened by adjacent tourism development.

Recommendation/Change since last report:
The residents need to be educated about the value of their historic resources, and encouraged to stabilize them.
