Established in Franktown in 1908, Pikes Peak Grange #163 was a natural fit for Franktown's strong agricultural roots. During a cooperative farmers' movement that swept rural America in the mid-1870s, several dozen local Grange chapters formed in Colorado, including the Fonder Grange (founded in Franktown in 1875) and its successor, Pikes Peak Grange #163. Still active today, Pikes Peak Grange #163 occupies its original hall and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. -- excerpted from their webpage at www.pikespeakgrange.com

Visit Instructions:
To post a visit to an existing Grange Hall waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the chapter in the background if that is possible. Including your gps device in the picture is not neccesary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval. If your Grange Hall has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
