While Wisconsin is well-known for its German-American community, some may be surprised to learn that a significant number of Belgians made their way to the Badger State in the 1850s. Most Belgians who came to Wisconsin made their way to the northeastern section of the state and their descendants continue to celebrate the harvest festival known as Kermis as well as a number of other cultural practices. This particular online collection from the University of Wisconsin's Digital Collection provides a host of materials related to this ethnic community. Visitors will note that the materials are divided into six sections, including "Immigration Histories", "Oral History Recordings", and "Belgian Survey Maps". The maps are well worth a look, as they include detailed renderings of nine different Belgian-American farms. Visitors should also not overlook the oral history excerpts and the substantial immigration histories.
