Merriconeag Grange was incorporated on Feb. 5, 1913.
But it had been around informally for years before that, since Harpswell was primarily a farming community — and farmers on that coastal peninsular thumb relied on each other as much, if not more than, on the soil and the seasons.
The year 1913 was when the Wilson family built what would become the new grange hall on the foundation of Harpswell Academy — a private school that had been around since 1866 but closed due to a lack of students.

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.
