History of the Baileyville Grange
Founded in 1934
Baileyville Grange #1991 was reorganized with the remain members of Leonard Grange #779 in Rock Springs founded in 1885. The building burned in 1887 and was dormant until 1911. Master J. M. Campbell and 41 members reorganized and Chartered Baileyville Grange #1991. At the first meeting after reorganization, Master G. M. Fry presided with 29 members present with Claude Myers serving as Secretary. At about the same time, the Baileyville Community obtained ownership of a two-room schoolhouse. With help from the Grange members and the community, the school was renovated into a Community Building where the Grange has met since their first meeting on February 20, 1934.
In 2003, Washington Grange merged with Baileyville Grange. Washington Grange #157 was Chartered on March 23, 1874, located in Pine Hall. Charter members were John Kumrine, Benjamin Corl, Jr., Calvin H. Struble, Jacob L. Roup, Fredrick Kumrine, David W. Shivery, Adam Krumrine, William Bloom, Henry Bloom, Jr., Mrs. A. J. Kumrine and Mary Hoy. In 1884 Washington Grange had a coronet band that played for the Granger’s Picnic on Nittany Mountain.

The Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair is held at end of August (Friday of the third week through Thursday of the fourth week). The Grange Fair is a city within a town, as campers "move into" the Grange Park in Centre Hall, PA, to live for more than a week. A place where Centre County Granges offer an opportunity every summer for young people and their families to display the perfection they have achieved with their animals, plants and crafts. A place where families unite and build relationships. A place where one can meet and fellowship with their friends and neighbors. A place of to build memories and traditions since 1874.
Baileyville Grange annually participates in the Grange Fair with a Grange exhibit and float.
