Oak Hill Grange # 104 was reorganized through the efforts of a few Scarborough citizens, who, along with the Scarborough Conservation Committee, wished to save and restore the former Pleasantdale Grange building which was scheduled to be demolished. These people researched options for use of the building. Upon learning about the Grange Organization, the group decided that they wished to reorganize. The State Grange informed the group that it had the original charter for the Oak Hill Grange that had been formed and had occupied the building in the late 1800's. Thirty-five people signed on to become Charter Members  on June 20, 1997. The Charter was signed at the Grange Hall & the Officers were installed at the Black Point Congregational Church Hall, with approximately thirty others in attendance.

Meetings

Meetings are currently held at 7:00 p.m. on the first Friday of the month at the North Scarborough Grange Hall. At Oakhill Grange Hall from May to October. There may be some changes in meeting days due to a holiday, etc. Business meetings are usually not open to the general public. Special events open meetings will be announced. Please contact the Oak Hill Grange Master at 883-9937 for information. The Grange Hall had been vacant for over one year, & therefore, according to the Town of Scarborough Zoning Ordinances, the building could not be grand fathered to operate as a Grange until approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals. An Occupancy Permit was issued to Oak Hill Grange on October 30, 1998. Members have agreed to continue meetings at North Scarborough  until certain plumbing & heating issues are addressed.
