Scope and Contents
This collection of Grange records will prove useful to those researchers interested in agricultural and rural studies. While the minutes in the record books are incomplete, they provide information on officers, membership, dues, programs, and business conducted. However, this information is in more of an outline format than narrative and thus lacks great detail. The roll book provides information on members, their addresses, and occupations. The few membership applications give some information on members, their name, age, and occupation.
Biographical / Historical
The Grange, organized on a national, state, county, and local level, combines fraternity, ritual, and business with cultural and educational programs. Women have been admitted from the beginning as equal members, and a juvenile grange promotes total family participation in this organization.
