A 30,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Marquette, on the CPR Carberry Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Woodlands, was built in 1920 by the Paterson Grain Company, joined by a larger elevator in 1941. The elevator was closed in the early 1970s and sold in 1974. It was later removed from the site.
