Welcome to the Massachusetts State Grange Website. We are pleased to have you view our site and hope you will find it informative. The Massachusetts State Grange is one of 37 State Granges that make up the approximately 300,000 members nationwide.

The Grange is a place to Grow! Today’s Grange emphasizes the community and family aspect of the Grange.  


Friends: For many Grange members the Grange is about friendship, and the opportunity to meet
and spend time with a variety of interesting people. Grange members make friends in their
community, their state and across the nation. In the Grange it is easy to make friendships that
last a lifetime. Grange meetings and events always include a social aspect that has friendship as a cornerstone.

Fun: Having fun is always an important part of any activity or task. The Grange is an organization
that understands the meaning of fun offering a variety of creative and recreational activities for
you and your family. Our meetings are designed to be enjoyable! In the spirit of friendship, Grangers
accomplish great things while having a great time. 


Value: Grange membership has many valuable components. Members have shared some of the
reasons they both joined and retained their membership:


  • Friendship with people of good character
  • Family environment
  • Fun and enjoyment
  • Leadership Development
  • Community Service
  • Grassroots legislative action
  • Opportunity to make a difference
