The Historic Rockford Grange
A Gathering Place for All
in the Columbia Gorge
What is the Grange?
The Grange Movement is over 150 years old, started as a protest by farmers against the robber barons of the mid 1800’s and helping families back on their feet after the Civil War. The buildings we know as Granges began as community organizations with agricultural roots. Over the years, members have advocated for various causes, including railroad regulations, farm loans, and universal suffrage. Today, the National Grange remains active, with nearly 80,000 members and 2,000 local community Granges spread across 41 states. The Rockford Grange is over 104 years old, built in 1921. Whether you become a member of the Rockford Grange or not, you’re still welcome to attend public events here or rent our facilities for your next event, class, or workshop.
