The old grange hall in the tiny South Carolina community of Donalds. Major John Donnald, an Irish immigrant, was one of the first settlers in what were then the "backwoods" east of Augusta, Georgia. He ran a cotton gin in the area. The Grange, officially referred to as The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is a fraternal organization in the United States that encourages families to band together to promote the economic and political well-being of the community and agriculture.[NOTE TO RESEARCHERS: Two Ns in "Donnald" are correct.] Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2017.
