Welcome to Netel Grange!
The hub of the Lewis and Clark valley community since 1910
For more than a century, Netel Grange has served our community as a host of unifying family events and by providing a comfortable, low cost space for private rentals.
Who we are
The Grange is a family oriented community organization with its roots in agriculture, where members are given the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential as citizens and leaders. The Grange was formed as a national organization “with a local focus” in 1867. Indeed, the word "grange" comes from a Latin word for grain, and is related to a "granary" or, generically, a farm.*
As a grassroots organization; virtually all policy originates at the subordinate level. The motto of the Grange is In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas ("In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity").**
