As the latest addition to the Historical Plaque Program, Russell Township has unveiled the first plaque to be in the town of Marionville. The plaque recognizes Sainte Th\u00e9r\u00e8se d\u2019Avila Church, which was built over 100 years ago by brothers Isa\u00efe, Urgel, S\u00e9raphin and Ludger Marion when they founded their new community. The church was built in 1904 with much effort from the brothers and other members of the community, and the village was subsequently named after the Marion family.<\/p>\n

The plaque commemorates the first milestone in the development of the village of Marionville, which has continued to grow rapidly in the near-century since its founding. Speakers included Mayor Pierre Leroux and Fran\u00e7ois Marion, President of the Marionville Citizens Committee.<\/p>\n

The Historical Plaque Program now has 13 plaques to visit across the municipality, with more planned for next year. Each plaque describes the site\u2019s historical significance in English and French, as well as a historical photo. Suggestions for future plaques may be submitted to info@russell.ca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
