The Grange is a family-oriented, fraternal organization with its roots based in agriculture and rural life. It has evolved over the more than 130 years of its existance into an organization committed to the preservation of our world, the protection and education of all peoples, and the encouragement of family values. Its lessons come from the Bible, but the Grange is NOT a religous organization. Nor is it a political organization. Our members come from all walks and creeds. While there is usually a social time following the meetings, alcohol is strictly forbidden in Grange Halls and temperance outside of the meetings is strongly stressed. Granges across the country are involved in community service projects, raising funds for charities and increasing public awareness of issues important in their individual communities.

We help guide and teach young people to be more confident individuals, better citizens and good leaders. In addition to working with the Junior Grange, Granges and their members are also active with other groups such as 4-H, both Boy and Girl Scouting groups, church youth groups and the Masonic Youth groups (Rainbow, DeMolay and Job's Daughters).

The following sites so completely and eloquently answer this often asked question, nothing further is really needed. Please be sure to visit them. If you still have questions as to what and who we are, let us know and we will try to help you out.
