Antique Clocks  … Drones … Native Americans … Poems from the Wilderness … Shelburne Country Store’s history …and a SPIN-A THON?   What on earth is the common link?  If you are a member of the Charlotte Shelburne Hinesburg Rotary Club you would know the answer.  I am honored to be part of the group.

What is the Charlotte Grange and what do they do?

Dorthy Hill, Heather Manning, Trina Bianchi - The Charlotte Grange #398

The Grange was slow in coming to New England, and Vermont’s first grange was the Green Mountain Grange #1 in St. Johnsbury, formed in 1871.  Vermont, however, became the first state in New England and only the seventh state in the U.S. to form a State Grange, which happened in July of 1872.  Several granges were formed during that time throughout Vermont although not in Chittenden County.
