Fairview Grange
The Fairview Grange, local #342, is a non-profit organization that was organized in 1898 and was started to help the farmers and as a social organization. It was founded in the town hall which was located by the Village Cemetery now known as 52 Lake View Drive, owned by Larry and Sue Kerns and is a seasonal dwelling along North Pond. The first grange hall was built by the Stream coming out of North Pond now the entrance to Sunset Camps and burned in 1913. The second grange hall was built in the spot where it is located now at 826 Village Rd. but again was taken by a fire in 1986. The third grange hall was built in that same spot and is currently what is located there today.

We intend to manage Club maintained snow trails to improve safety, enabling the management of traffic and most importantly, to protect landowners’ interests while also providing them with the benefit of State provided insurance coverage.
