Whallonsburg Grange Hall

Whallonsburg Grange Hall logo

The Whallonsburg Grange Hall was built by Grange PoH Chapter 954 in 1915. It was used for Grange functions and meetings for decades and is a part of the memories of hundreds of residents of the region who attended dances, weddings, Hall receptions, suppers and other events here. From the mid-1980s, the Grange chapter had difficulty managing the costs of running and repairing the building and by the 1990s it was no longer viable as an event location. In 2006, ownership was transferred to the Town of Essex and a new chapter in its life began.

The Grange Hall is managed by the Whallonsburg Civic Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit through an agreement with the Town. Beginning in 2008, a hugely successful effort by volunteers from all over the Champlain Valley has been responsible for the restoration and renovation of this historic building into a NEW center for the community. (www.thegrangehall.info)
