History:
The foundation stone was laid by the Bishop of New York, Henry Codman Potter on May 27th, 1891. Prior to this building, and beginning in 1858, services were held in the chapel across the street, now the Staatsburg Library. That building was built by Mrs. Margaret Lewis Livingston, the mother of Mrs. Lydia Hoyt, and was used by several religious groups in the village. The parish is named for Saint Margaret of Antioch, a second century martyr.
