Armada Historic Tour

Location 15 - Bruce-Armada Grange Hall

Donated by Bill and Bonnie Vedder, the 50 foot long hall was moved from McFadden Road to its new foundation at the Armada Agricultural Society grounds in 1998. This cooperative venture with the Historical Society was accomplished with the help of individuals and community groups.

The National Grange, founded shortly after the Civil War, was instrumental in important legislation and served as a self-help, social and educational center for communities across the country. Many granges are still active in Michigan.

This structure, built in 1886, was last utilized in the 1970 ?s by 4-H groups. Many new uses are planned. Restoration projects are underway on this reminder of our area?s strong agricultural heritage.

Donations are welcome at the Capac State Bank, 72890 North Avenue, Armada, Michigan 48005.
