Records of the Wisconsin State Grange, an order of the Patrons of Husbandry. The Patrons of Husbandry was founded as a farmers' lodge on December 4, 1867, in Washington, D.C., to encourage farm families to band together for their common economic and political well-being. The collection documents many of the Grange's activities and the beliefs and attitudes of its members from early on in the organization through the 1980s. Included are administrative, financial, and membership records, in conjunction with committee materials, correspondence, board reports, legislative action files, and other project files.
The minute books for 1885 to 1933 are available only on microfilm although there may be some duplication and overlap in the paper records.
