Patrons of Husbandry – the Grange


Loading

Complete name: The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. From the wikipedia: "... fraternal organization for American farmers that encourages farm families to band together for their common economic and political well-being. Founded in 1867 after the Civil War, it is the oldest surviving agricultural organization in America, though now much diminished from the over one million members it had in its peak in the 1890s through the 1950s."
