 Belgium
Since the country's federalisation there have been many governmental entities; apart from the Federal Government there is a subdivision according to language into Communities, with the French(-speaking) Community, the Flemish Community and the German-speaking Community, and another subdivision into Regions: the Walloon Region, the Flemish Region and the Brussels-Capital Region.
Brussels, the capital, is mostly French speaking, but officially French/Dutch bilingual as it evolved from a Dutch-speaking place when the Belgian state became independent in 1830 to its current dominantly French character being the capital of the central administration of the federal country.
Each provincial entity (including the Brussels-Capital Region) is further divided into smaller municipalities, called gemeenten in Dutch and communes in French (see List of Belgian municipalities and List of Belgian municipalities by population).

Laudholm Farm was an appropriate location for those events, for it was widely known as "one of the showplaces of the country and a model of modern scientific agriculture."
He served as a selectman for the town of Wells, as a state representative, state senator, and finally on the Maine Governor's Council.
Since the farm was adjacent to two estuaries, the points where the Little and Webhannet rivers meet the sea, it was a perfect candidate to become a National Estuarine Research Sanctuary.
