Heritage Hill State (Historical) Park is a 48-acre open air museum of 25 historical structures in
Allouez, Wisconsin. At this living history museum visitors are invited to explore historic buildings in four distinct areas of the park
representing various periods of Northeastern Wisconsin's rich heritage
and interact with interpreters who bring their bygone era to
life. I know I enjoyed my experience and know you will too.
In the Ethinic Agricultural Area, you will find the Belgian Farm. It is believed that the farmhouse was built after the October
10, 1871, Peshtigo Fire. The Charles Massart Family owned the farmhouse; the summer kitchen and the small log structure. The
structures were located in Rosiere. The chicken coop belonged to the Julian Romwald family. And the The barn belonged to the Lampereur
family from Brussels.
The farmhouse is a log house with brick
veneer. The brick is red, probably from the area, and cream, probably
from the lakeshore, possibly Milwaukee area. The brick was added
sometime after the house was constructed. The brick has a “quoins”
design typical of homes in Belgium. The summer kitchen is made of
limestone. The barn and other out buildings are of log construction.
Cheese Factory
This building was built in 1894 located in Kewaunee County a
crossroad one mile south and east of Slovan. The original owner was
listed as A. Anashek. He sold it to Joseph Adams and his wife Mary in
1895, who would have been operating it in 1905. The Clyde Cheese Factory
tells the story of the importance of the cheese industry in the
development of these crossroads communities. The small cheese factories
of Northeastern Wisconsin were a familiar sight in the rural landscape
at the turn of the 20th century.
