Patrons of Husbandry – a website dedicated to the Granges located in Maine
National Grange information, including National Convention.
Rebekah Hodgkins from Jonesboro Grange attended the National Grange Convention this year and is now a Seventh Degree Member. She also reports that she won Third Place in the Fair Category of the National Grange Photo Contest, and Kennedy won First and Third Place in the Pet Category.
“The folks I connected with were wonderful humans… it was so nice to be with other Grangers and I felt ‘at home.'”

As we purge older posts and clean things up, you may occasionally encounter missing photos and broken links. Remember, we only maintain two years of posts both to save space and avoid confusion. If what’s missing seems important, please let us know! Mistakes happen.
We continue to add new information to the site! The Program Books and Information Page now features the MSG Bylaws as Revised at State Session and the words to Veterans of the USA from the 2024 Memorial Service. We’ve also added the 2025 Ag Program Book.
Many Granges offer holiday craft fairs or “makers markets.” Please submit information about yours! We offer statewide publicity and make it easy for you to share information on Social Media.
The 150th Anniversary Booklet is a literal treasure of historical information about Granges in Maine, including a complete list of every Grange that has existed in Maine! Check it out!
If you are having any sort of program event, consider offering tours of your Grange Hall. Many folks are interested in learning more about both the Grange and these buildings.
Ellie Collins has some Grange Songbooks that are looking for a good home! If you’re interested, contact her or let us know!

During the National Grange Convention, Grange Today! is being published daily.
While National Grange continued to publish a daily edition, I realized the “In this Issue” (table of contents) section did not accurately reflect the content of the actual newsletter. Rather than risk confusion, I decided not to post the daily summaries. If you click the “Read the Current Issue” button below, you should have access to all the issues published during the convention. When regular publishing starts, we’ll resume posting the summaries. Thanks for understanding.
