Grange Hall
by Mrs. Ervin Buttrick
The main part of this building was an unfinished hotel, formerly on the site of the present nursing home and was moved to form a part of the present Grange Hall.
In 1891, Hiram and Lena Conant moved from Connecticut into this building, it being a two family apartment house at the time. They started a silk mill, producing 100 pounds of organizine a day and in 1901 were occupying the second floor of the machine shop building on River Street.
About 1917, the building had four apartments, with the families of Smith, White, Ellingwood and Burgess living there. In November of 1950, the building was purchased from Mamie Preston by Contoocook Grange for a Grange Hall. Extensive renovations were done, making a large hall upstairs and a dining room and kitchen downstairs, under the chairmanship of Mr. Townes. Since then, many more improvements have been made, making it a fine hall.
