This farmer(a)s market has long since seen it(a)s final customer walk out the door with their bag of strawberries and blueberries.

Of interest is what appears to be a shrine made up of a statue of the Virgin Mary, at the base of which lay beautiful quartz stones. Christmas lights and spotlights have been set up I would surmise to light up the shrine come nightfall.

There are no less than three steel crosses embedded into the ground, which makes one wonder if this isn(a)t a gravesite of some sort? Alas, there were no answers on this day... only hot sun and more places to be.

GPS Co-ordinates are not accurate, but Powassan is not a large town.

So this was my grandparents farmers market and I spent my younger years running around in the summer there. Once my parents got married they ran the butcher shop that was in it. It is not a gravesite . My nan told the story many times. One day a man came in and was speaking to her for some time at the counter having a slice of pie. When he was leaving he handed her a cross and said something along the lines of god told me you should have this. That nice she had a vision or something and was told to make the shrine for Mary. The next week she put it there. No bodies lol

Looks like a lot of it either got demolished or collapsed. For anyone who wants actual coordinates, cause that's too much to ask for apparently, its 45.998298, -79.360107. That may be it, there's no street view so it's hard to tell. Maybe if OP would give actual coordinates it'd be easier to tell, but it does look like it
