 Namur Belgian-American Historic District
Namur was settled in 1853 by French-speaking Belgian immigrants. Most of the immigrants farmed in their European homeland and brought their agrarian skills with them. It is the nation's largest rural settlement of Belgian nationality where the importance of farmsteads and landscape play a key role.
