A building saved by people who would not let it go
The society formed when the old Grange Hall was slated for the wrecking crew. A handful of residents asked for six months to raise the money instead, and the six months became a restoration that is still, in small ways, ongoing.
There is no paid staff. The board, the front-desk volunteers and the people who catalogue the archive are the same fifteen or so residents, trading shifts around their other jobs.
Membership dues and a yearly pie sale cover the heating bill most winters. Larger repairs wait for a grant or a particularly generous estate gift.
