Looking for any information regarding Thorne’s Corner Grange in Lewiston (Grange number 408 or 498?). It was torn down in the late 80’s/early 90’s. During demolition, my father was able to retrieve the stained glass window, and it is now in my possession. I would love to get more historical information.
Thank you.

Congratulations on having that window! Unfortunately, information regarding closed Granges can be a real challenge. We’ve found that local historical societies are sometimes a great source! A list of resources is available on the site. According to one resource, Thornes Corner was chartered on 9/19/1874 and closed in 1948. Some records may be available at the Fogler Library in Orono’s special collections.
If you have any information regarding this Grange, please contact Drew directly!
