Okay, so these are a little different than the ones released by National Grange. As mentioned in her March President’s Perspective, Master/President Sherry has completed an inventory of items currently being stored at MSG Headquarters: seals, charters, and records of Granges that no longer exist. As some will recall, these are available to interested local historical societies. The list is sorted by the original Grange Name and is four pages long! A copy is also being mailed to Subordinate/Community Grange secretaries.
Check the list to see if there are items that might be of interest to historical societies in your area! These items certainly deserve a good home. There is a Historical Society Agreement Form that should accompany any items provided. Both the list and the form will remain available in the Historical Resources Page of the Program Books and Information Page.

Cornish Historical Society would be happy to store the inactive Cornish Grange items at our headquarters in Cornish. How do we go about acquiring these? I am the current President of our society. 207-625-4813
Thanks, Sandra… I will also reply by email. Contact MSG President Sherry Harriman at 207 490-1029 or sharriman@twc.com.
