On Tuesday, May 4th, Cannon Grange #152 will observe it's 111th Anniversary since its founding in 1899. Cannon Grange was organized by a group of prominent citizens from Cannondale.

Mr. Samuel Miller was elected the first Master of Cannon Grange. At that time, Mr Miller was the President of the Gilbert & Bennett Wire Mill in Georgetown. At the same time that Cannon Grange was organized as a subordinate Grange of the Connecticut State Grange and of The National Grange, the same residents of Cannondale built the Community Hall which opened on August 9, 1899 and this was the first formal meeting place of Cannon Grange. It has been home to Cannon Grange ever since.

Members of Cannon Grange will mark the anniversary at its regular business meeting on Thursday, May 7th starting with dinner at 6:00 PM.

New Members are always welcome. Persons who are age 14 years and above are eligible for membership. Annual Dues at Cannon Grange are $32.50 per year. One time new member fee $5.
