Belvidere: A Small Town
What is Belvidere Like?
Belvidere is a quiet place. Like many small towns, it has changed over time. Because transport has improved, people can travel more easily to bigger towns. This means Belvidere no longer has its own school or post office.
The Soldier's Memorial Hall
Remembering History in Belvidere
One important building in Belvidere is the Soldier's Memorial Hall. It was built in 1921. This hall was created to remember the young men from the area who served in World War I. This was a very big war that happened many years ago.
Seventeen young men from Belvidere went to serve. Sadly, five of them did not return home. The hall helps the community remember their bravery and sacrifice.
Today, the Soldier's Memorial Hall is still an important part of the town. It is available for people to hire and use for events. It helps keep the community spirit alive in Belvidere.
