Grange Shrine - Oliver H. Kelley Home
The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry was founded in Washington, D. C., on December 4, 1867. This date marks the birth of organized agriculture on American soil. Oliver Hudson Kelley first advanced the idea of a farm fraternity. As first secretary and one of the founders of the National Grange he maintained official headquarters here until 1870. This farm has been purchased by contributions throughout the nation and is preserved in honor of our founders.
Verbatim 1940 text, presented as a historical record, not current interpretation. Minnesota now calls the 1862 conflict the U.S.-Dakota War and has since replaced the wording on some of these signs.
