Geocache Description:

This cache was a part of the Historic Benton County Coin Challenge. The coins have been distributed, but the chance to learn about our history is still available


Built in 1911, the Colonial Revival style Mountain View Grange No. 429 was later renamed Lewisburg Grange.  Early Benton County farmers experienced challenges in transportation, high freight costs, and fluctuating prices.  In response, the Oregon State Grange organized in 1893 to help farmers collectively address these common issues.  Advancements in transportation provided expanded markets for farmers and improved their ability to export goods, resulting in increased farm production.  Grange halls continue to serve as community centers for educational events, social activities, political rallies, and community meetings.

This building is currently St. Anne's Orthodox Church. Please be respectful of the parishioners, and especially avoid distrubing them during services from 5:30-6:30 pm Saturday and 10:00-11:00 am Sunday.
