About Us  

The Rexville Grange has been a part of the Skagit Valley since 1927.

Built above the valley farmland, on Pleasant Ridge, the hall was designed in the traditional grange style with long built-in benches lining the main hall.  The solid maple floor has known many dances, potlucks, weddings, family events and memorial services.  In 1946 the membership decided to "raise the roof" by lifting the main hall up onto a new ground floor.  Making the Rexville Grange the largest grange hall in Washington state.

Still here to serve the community.

What is
the Grange?

• The Grange, officially referred to as Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is a fraternal organization that encourages families and neighbors to promote the economic and political well-being of the community and agriculture. Founded after the Civil War in 1867, the Grange is the oldest American agricultural advocacy group with a national scope. 
•  The Granger movement succeeded in regulating the railroads and grain warehouses. Major accomplishments credited to Grange advocacy include the establishment of rural free mail delivery and rural electrification.
• The organization was unusual at the time because women and any teen old enough to draw a plow were encouraged to participate. The importance of women was reinforced by allowing a woman to hold any office.

Grange History

 

• Significant Grange causes have included the direct election of Senators and women's suffrage. Susan B. Anthony's last public appearance was at the National Grange Convention in 1903.

• Washington state has the largest Grange membership of any state, at approximately 13,000 members.

• A monument to the founding of the Grange is the only private monument on the National Mall in Washington, D.C
