Broad Brook Grange

Broad Brook Grange #151, established in Guilford, Vermont, in November 1874, is a subordinate Grange of the state and national fraternal Grange organization. In the early years of its existence, its members met in private homes. In 1887, they purchased a house and used it as a hall. In 1895, its members voted to build their own Grange Hall. This construction was completed in March 1896. Subsequently, the organization added a kitchen section, with stage above, to the building.
In January 2018, the organization signed an agreement with the newly established non-for-profit Broad Brook Community Center to sell its hall to the latter. At that time, the hall located at 3940 Guilford Center Road officially became the Broad Brook Community Center. As part of the transaction, Broad Brook Grange #151 received the right to use the hall as its home base in perpetuity as long as the organization retains its charter as an active Grange.
Broad Brook Grange #151 is a very active civic and community organization. We hold monthly meetings, and such activities as a Sugar on Snow Supper in March and Mother’s Day Brunch in May. We also help sponsor a Pre-Town Meeting and a free Community Thanksgiving Dinner, provide dictionaries to third graders at the local elementary school, and make and fill holiday stockings stuffed with treats during the winter holidays to special seniors, among other activities. Guilford Center Stage, a theater production company, is a project of our Grange.
Broad Brook Grange #151 is a membership organization open to all. Its monthly meetings are generally held beginning at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month at the Broad Brook Community Center (formerly the Grange Hall), 3940 Guilford Center Road, Guilford.

Middle Branch Grange was organized in April, 1912. Our hall was built that year as a community hall. We have a dozen or more farms within our local grange membership. We have more than 120 members. We have an active Junior Grange. More than half of our officers are youth.

Some of our annual events are a grange picnic and a corn roast. We hold a dues paid supper the last Saturday of April. This is a ham & turkey supper open to the public with entertainment in the evening. We assist the local church with their strawberry supper the last Saturday of June at our hall. Our annual chicken pie supper is the second Saturday of October, again with entertainment in the evening.

The Grange was originally formed as an agricultural organization for the entire family. Today the Grange includes
non-farm families as well. Junior Grangers range from 5 to 14 years of age. Subordinate (local) Granges have members from 14 to 100+. All have equal rights as voting members.
