The town of Marksville, Louisiana is a place that was founded by accident. A Venetian peddler by the name of Marco was traveling in the area during the 1790’s when one of his wagon’s wheels broke. He decided to stay put and establish a trading post, and the town today offers a unique patchwork of history. Visitors can learn about some of the Marksville area’s first inhabitants at the Tunica-Biloxi Cultural and Educational Resources Center, explore the prehistoric side of Marksville at the Marksville State Historic Site, or explore the Civil War era at Fort DeRussy, and more.
