The Sandy Grange was organized in 1909. The first Master (President) was Elijah Coleman, a famous mountain man of the Sandy, Mt. Hood area.

The Grange purchased a building in the center of Sandy and held meetings there for many years until that building was condemned. The Grange then bought the Kelso Grade School, which was built in 1905.

The Grange is currently conducting extensive restoration and modernization of the building. They have replaced the roof, painted the building, and added a handicap ramp and parking space.

Benefits: In addition to the usual Grange benefits that Grange membership offers, The Sandy Grange has a memorial scholarship fund that awards a $500 scholarship each year to a Grange college student.
