Grange Halls
Throughout the nation, Grange halls were looked upon as community centers. In fact, the very concept and philosophy of the Grange emphasized this. The thousands of Grange Halls that were built across the country were considered signs of a progressive community.
Copake Grange is the only Grange in Columbia County t fortunate to have its original Hall in active use. The other Grange halls have been sold or fallen on hard times. The stark, upright beauty of Grange Hall and the important role it has played in the community qualified it to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2019, a plaque was installed in front of Grange Hall to commemorate this achievement.
