On March 8, Granby Grange #5 held a work party at the historic Grange hall in North Granby. Connecticut State Representative Mark Anderson, a member of the rejuvenated Granby Grange, presented several Grange members with an official proclamation from the Connecticut General Assembly, recognizing its milestone 150th anniversary.
Granby Grange was the fifth Grange chartered in Connecticut. Harvey Godard, the Grange’s first president, also served as the first president of the Connecticut State Grange. In 1940, the Grange moved into its current location at 212 North Granby Road, a historic building that once served as both the town hall and a schoolhouse.
Today, Granby Grange is led by Judy Doyle who is deeply committed to building upon the community’s rich agricultural history while continuing to serve its members.
