Margaret is home to the Margaret school monument, a cairn that commemorates all the schools that once operated in the vicinity. Margaret was once home to both a Manitoba Pool elevator and a United Grain Growers elevator. The Pool elevator ran from 1928 until 1981, before being closed down and later demolished. The UGG elevator ran from 1926 until 1977 and was also later demolished.
