Fairview Grange
History
Fairview Grange - located by the Tillamook County Fairgrounds on 3rd street - was founded in 1895 as the 273rd Grange organized in the nation, and the first Tillamook County. The hall itself was constructed in 1916, costing $2,000 USD at the time ($53786 USD today, when adjusted for inflation).
Restoration
The Grange hall gradually fell into a state of disrepair and was to be demolished in 2014 before members of Oregon's State Government intervened. Following this, renovations began late in 2021 and are set to continue until the summer of 2022.
