Granges seeking photos and information

To The Eagle:

The Skamokawa and Grays River Granges have played an important role shaping our Wahkiakum community. But, there is very little information available at our museum in Cathlamet concerning the Grange and its history. We are requesting the community share any memorabilia you may have that will preserve and honor the Grange. Any photos or information will be shared with the Wahkiakum County Historical Museum.

We are interested in the active Skamokawa Grange #425, active Grays River Grange #124, the closed Elochoman Grange and Puget Island Grange (Norse Hall) so an exhibit can be shared with the community celebrating the history of the Wahkiakum County Granges, the 125 years for the Washington State Grange and the 151 years for the National Grange.

Please bring your pictures and/or information to the Skamokawa Grange (next to the Fairgrounds entrance) to one of our meetings that are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. Or, to the Skamokawa Grange #425 table at the Puget Island Farmers Market each Friday. You can also contact our Grange Master Levi Helms to arrange pick-up.

Sincerely,

Pearl Blackburn

Secretary, Skamokawa Grange
