Moulin Légaré
Entouré de la maison du meunier, du moulin à scie, de la digue et du bassin de flottage, ce moulin à farine hydraulique construit en 1762-1763 est un exemple exceptionnel des meuneries érigées à l’époque du peuplement des seigneuries et du développement de l’économie agricole coloniale. Exploité par la famille Légaré tout au long du XXIème siècle, il n’a jamais cessé d’être en usage et a été constamment adapté aux besoins nouveaux. Cette longévité en fait un témoin privilégié de l’évolution technologique de l’industrie de la minoterie, naguère l’une des activités manufacturières les plus importante du Canada.
