Scope and Contents
This collection of Grange records will prove useful to those researchers interested in agricultural and rural studies. While the minutes 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 dues account book only gives information on members names and whether their quarterly dues were paid.
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.
The Portage Grange was formed around July of 1918. By 1967 the Grange membership had dropped to the point where it was decided to sell the Grange Hall to pay off debts made when it was built. The building, possibly located in North Baltimore, was sold for $5000, in July, 1967.
