One of the founding father's of Ogilvie, MN was John Bragg, who started a combined lumber yard and general mercantile in 1898. In 1900, he built a new 2-story general mercantile-only store, which also featured one of the first soda fountains in the area. The Bragg General Store as it was known then, also featured a connected storage warehouse, and the 2nd floor was used as a public hall where the "Modern Woodsmen Lodge of Ogilvie" held dances every Saturday night. In 1902, the Bragg General Store was sold to E.F. Ohman, while John Bragg started another lumber yard. Today, the Bragg building is one of the oldest buildings in Ogilvie that are still around today.
The Ogilvie Raceway, a 3/8 mile Dirt clay oval race track, opened on May 29, 2009.
