Fundraising
Our goal is to restore the Grange building which is listed in Massachusetts Register of Historic places in the Upton Historic district as #176. The building was recognized by the Upton and the State historical commissions as a treasured building as Upton’s first public school building Center School #1. Built in 1851, it was also the first High School in Upton. We have applied for a MA Historical Grant and local CPC Funds from the Town of Upton. We ask local Upton citizens for your support.
