Sacopee Valley Adult & Community Education

An egalitarian, nonpartisan fraternal organization founded in the wake of the Civil War to advance the interests of farming communities, the Grange (AKA the Order of Patrons of Husbandry) has had a profound influence on rural American life. It has a rich heritage of song, with a number of songbooks published starting in 1872. Katherine Rhoda collects and studies this material and will share songs celebrating agriculture, rural life, and the pursuit of the common good.
