Mt. Lebanon Grange #212 was organized December 2, 1927, by Eugene Sharrer. We are number 212 because we were the 212th local Grange organized in New Jersey. Starting in 1928, meetings were held in the old Mt. Lebanon Methodist Episcopal Church. We are a community oriented organization where a person can join at age 14. Over the years The Grange has hosted dances, card parties, holiday events, and fundraisers. We spearheaded community projects including naming the softball field at Woodglen School in honor of 2 time gold medal Olympian and former resident, Michele Smith.

Over the years Lebanon Township Grange members served as County and State Grange officers and committee members. Learn more about the Grange’s history in the book: Lebanon Township, 200 Years, available at Bunnvale Library or for purchase at The Lebanon Township Museum in New Hampton.

The Grange was approached by the Squires Point Historians who were interested in purchasing The former Mt Lebanon Church building. Due to decreasing membership and the challenges of maintaining the antique building the current Grange members gave the offer serious consideration. The members voted to sell the Grange Hall completing the sale on May 18, 2022. Squires Point Historians intend to restore the building making it suitable for community use once again.
