The Door County Library recently featured the Belgian Heritage Center as part of their Wisconsin Preservation Month program. We were able to share our short and long term plans for restoring the school and some of the challenges we will face.

BHC recently completed a Master Planning project funded by a grant from the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation (GGBCF). We engaged Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction, Inc. of Appleton to lead the effort. The Master Plan addresses improved visitor access to all buildings and campus features, expanded off road parking and a layout for a new, future building to support community events. The site plan and development concepts are detailed in a narrative report with maps and illustrations, standards and guidelines for historic preservation and a 45 minute video with detailed instructions for maintaining the historic aesthetics of our campus while safely hosting visitors of all ages. Thanks to GGBAF, Hoffman and Pat Del Ponte for supporting this important project.
Our friends at Northern Sky Theater created a wonderful little jingle celebrating the Belgian Heritage Center. Check it out at the link below.
