The United Methodists have the only church in Marquette at this time. John's Lutheran Church and Mamre Evangelical Church. The first school, a two-room building, opened in 1884. It was replaced with a brick structure in 1913, providing classes for K-12. There have been two additions since that time.
Most activities take place at the school or in the community hall.
The Village of Marquette was incorporated in March 1889. The governing body was, and still is, a board of trustees consisting of five elected officials. Fires in 1906 and 1910 destroyed a number of buildings on both sides of the main street. These were replaced with fire-proof brick structures. However, many, if not all, of Marquette's records were destroyed, making the complete record of our town impossible to verify.
