Fruitland Grange History

The Fruitland Grange was organized on April 21, 1932, by thirty-five charter members. 

 

In 1934, Fruitland Grange purchased the land where the Grange is currently located to build its own facility.  Meetings were held in the Woodland School from 1932-1938 then moved to the Collins Grange building.

​

The first building committee was appointed in March 1935.  Clearing the land started in 1936.

​

The land for the Fruitland Grange was cleared, building designed and built with volunteer labor by Grange members.  The building was completed in late 1938 at a cost of $10,000.

​

On February 14, 1939, Fruitland Grange members held a Valentine dinner in the new hall.  It was the hall's first use.  The first regular meeting was held in the new Fruitland Grange hall on February 17, 1939.
