To learn more about the town’s history, visitors can see the monument of Sam Lessard in Martinville. There is an interactive sign with a voice recording of Mr. Oscar Lessard, the last owner of the Martinville Mill.

Mr. Lessard also owned the general store in Martinville. Other business ventures of his include building bridges and snow removal. His monument is a great destination to learn more about the earlier settlers of Martinville.
