Willamette Grange #52 is one of five active Granges in Benton County, alongside Hope, Fairmount, Marys River and Summit Granges. It is the oldest active Grange in Benton County. Willamette Grange was chartered as part of the Oregon State Grange in 1873, and is an organization promoting agriculture, forestry, & rural residents. The Grange Hall was built in 1922 on land donated by McCauley Porter and is being restored by the current membership of the grange, along with lots of help from the community.

Guided tour times are at 12:15 p.m., 1:15 p.m., and 2:15 p.m., but the building is open to view the entire time.
This event is part of Historic Preservation Month.
