Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Belleville Walk of Fame induction ceremony! The Belleville Walk of Fame was established in 2014 to honor people who have made significant contributions to our city, region, or nation or who have brought fame to Belleville.

We had the largest crowd we've ever had to watch the unveiling of the plaques for this year's inductees: Henry Raab, a master teacher, and Jacob Brosius, an inventive manufacturer. Thank you to all of their descendants who joined us at the ceremony!

The next Walk of Fame induction ceremony will be held in 2028. We'll collect nominations over the next couple of years before selecting the honorees. If you know of someone who you think should be included, please reach out and let us know!

To learn about previous inductees, visit bellevillehistoricalsociety.org/belleville-history/belleville-walk-fame or visit the Walk of Fame section of the public square!
