Olivier Plantation

OLIVIER PLANTATION

After starting business in 1898, 
Jules Olivier built this store in 1908 to 
serve his growing plantation. Mr. Olivier 
was commissioned the community's first 
postmaster in 1898, and his store housed 
the first Lydia post office until the 
arrival of rural free delivery. Selling 
everything from asprins to plow shares, 
the store soon became a community 
hub. It also housed administrative
offices for his sugar plantation of over
one thousand acres.
