St. Margaret Episcopal Church dates its history to 1961, when 11-acres off Washington Ave. were donated to the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island. The congregation, drawn from a wide swath of Long Island, held its first meeting in the America Legion Hall on Jamaica Ave. before moving into its beautiful new home in 1964. The A-frame structure also features a stand-alone bell tower, refurbished and rededicated in 2002. The grounds include a modern cemetery.
