A Dethridge wheel marks the entrance to the town, a device used to measure water volumes delivered to farms.
The Tatura Butter Factory was built in 1907 and merged with Bega Cheese in 2007.
A Rosella factory was established in the town in 1949, specialising in processing local tomatoes for tomato sauce.
A German cemetery for those who died in the World War II internment camps can also be found in Tatura.
Mosaics depicting the history of the town are on Hogan St and Tatura is currently home to the Goulburn-Murray Water headquarters, which is a major employer for the town.
