The records in this collection document the history of the Willowdale Grange No. 1773 from 1914 to 1962.  Minutes comprise the major series (1914-1962) and detail the organization’s projects, agricultural concerns, legislative programs, social affairs and membership statistics.  The quarterly reports also document membership changes.  Secretary’s account books record dues and exnenses.  Correspondence, community service reports, annual programs, and a scrapbook further delineate the Willowdale Grange’s concerns and programs.  Some materials from the Illinois State and National Grange organizations provide a broader view of the grange’s commitments.

Researchers should note that Box 1, Folder 1 contains a Willowdale Grange history.
