Historic Sites of Manitoba: Moline Memorial Monuments (Moline, RM of Oakview)This site in the Rural Municipality of Oakview was the location of the community of Moline. A monument here, erected in 1964, commemorates those from the area who were killed during military service during the First World War and the Second World War, pioneers who built a Methodist Church one mile north and one mile east of this site, and the Moline post office established in 1883. Nearby is a brick replica, built in 1990, of the two-storey brick structure of the Moline Co-op that operated here from March 1914 to 1981. Thought at the time to be the oldest Co-op in Manitoba, it was one of seven association that played a leading role in the formation of the Manitoba Co-operative Wholesale in Winnipeg in 1928. In 1958, it amalgamated with Co-ops at Cardale and Hamiota. Nearby is a monument commemorating Moline School No. 543. An honour roll prepared by the Moline Women's Institute, commemorating Moline residents who served and were killed during military service in the First World War, is now displayed in the Rapid City Legion Hall.
