Looking for something to do?

Head over to today's Spring Fling - a family friendly event.  

           It's being held at two locations. At the ca. 1790 Foster-Armstrong House at 320 River Rd., a National Historic Register site where live demos and tours are offered. At the Montague Grange, a contributing structure in the extended Millville Historic District located at 280 River Rd. between Millville and Weider Roads, there will be hands on crafts for kids and a May pole - plus info on gardening and agriculture.

 Activities at each are between 1 and 4 pm.

Both sites are within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

MARCH and the Montague Grange partner with the National Park Service to help preserve our heritage and these historic structures.
Please support their efforts!

this event

The Montague Grange, No. 140 is one of three remaining active Grange's left in Sussex County, NJ and is part of the New Jersey State Grange.

Montague's Grange organization was started on Feb. 8th, 1904. 

Their 1st meeting was held at residence of L.S. Merrell to organize a Subordinate Grange of Patrons.  That meeting was called to order by R.M. Holly Deputy for Sussex County, and the 1st Master selected was Oscar C. Van Auken.

 At the  Feb.17th meeting, it was decided it would be called "Montague Grange - No. 140 Patrons of Husbandry".

On Nov. 9th, 1904 a plan for the 2 story hall was designed.

 Land was offered the group and on Nov. 22, 1904 a subscription taken to raise the money to pay for the 1/2 acre of land L.S. Merrell purchased for the Grange.

On April 12,1905 the Grange applied for Incorporation.

On April 19th, they received the deed. Funds to raise the hall were discussed.

The Grange Hall was dedicated in 1906 on April 18th - so their building has now been in existence for 110 years.
