The Grange Movement in Clinton County

Lake Forest Retirement Community, 8 Lake Forest Drive, Plattsburgh

Beginning in Mooers in 1897, the Grange Movement quickly spread throughout Clinton County providing access to what was declared in the Plattsburgh Sentinel in 1904 to be one of the "grandest educational organizations in the world." Welcoming both men and women into their organizational hierarchy, granges and their leaders built halls, published histories, held educational forums and hosted community events throughout Clinton County. Helen Nerska, the daughter of a 'granger' shares her research on the impact of this nation-wide movement in our County.
