🎉 100 Years of Family Gatherings — Port Huron
In 2026 the Van Landschoot family in Port Huron, Michigan celebrates a remarkable milestone: the 100th annual family gathering.
For a full century, generations of the family have come together to share memories, renew family ties, and honour the heritage that connects them with their Belgian origins.
What began as a small family reunion has grown into a cherished tradition, bringing together descendants from across the United States while keeping alive the story of the Van Landschoot family.
