Founded in 1912, Enterprise Grange #489 has been serving our communities for over 113 years. Back then the building was built because the valley needed a building where everyone could gather together and hold meetings, church, dances, etc. People would come on horseback or with their horse and carriage or walking to get to the grange. Our organization was originally more agriculturally focussed and we still try to host farms for our markets to promote healthy nutrition and wholesome food. We also use those products in meals that we cook in our kitchen. Times have changed and now we are more of a community center building and a low cost rental for the community. We are here for the community. We do our best to support the community around us and help when we are able. Almost anyone who has been in the area for years has something positive to say about the Grange! Oh, the wonderful stories we have heard. We want to make a positive difference in our little part of the world. Our motto:
In essentials, unity; in. non-essentials; liberty; in all things, charity.
The Grange, at all levels, does not discriminate with regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or national origin.

We offer a variety of events during the year to meet the needs of our community, and have a lot in the planning stage. Unfortunately we are facing some issues with our old building. We need to make some costly repairs to the foundation and fix the damage caused to the building over multiple years of use. We are in process of raising money right now to upgrade and fix the building. Right now we have several things going. Sunday Market, 4H club started, Pancake breakfasts, Free yard sale day, Dictionaries for 3rd graders, helping a families at Christmas, Chili Cook Off, Holiday Market, ice cream social, barn dances. We do cooking and canning classes during Summer. We are also trying to set up a computer class for seniors, as well as a host of other classes. First Aid, CPR, Crochet, etc. We started a recycling program with Bottledrop . We also recycle other household items for people to find good homes or uses for them. Our building is available to rent at low cost to the community. We also give additional discounts and work with our community members and groups to help them have the ability to continue to achieve their goals. We would like our focus to prioritize on community service especially children and seniors in the area.
We would like to add a can food pantry and more classes and meals.
"Children are our future and seniors are our teachers. "
We would love more volunteers and members for both groups. Please call if you are interested. You will find volunteering is a great way to meet your neighbors and learn more about the history of the area.
Our Mission: Our purpose is twofold. To maintain our historical building through repairs and to be a vital educational and charitable association for the rural community we serve. Saving our historical building, improving our community through use of our building and our property.
