BRATTLEBORO â The design of 1890s-era grange halls throughout New England typically followed the same plan â kitchen and dining area on the ground level and small gem of an auditorium upstairs. Guilfordâs Broad Brook Grange #151 was no different, and the townspeople of Guilford have been climbing the stairs for community events for over a hundred years.
Broad Brook Community Center, Inc. (BBCC) purchased the Grange in 2018, with big plans to improve and update the hall for new generations of Guilfordites and area friends and neighbors. The project is now in its final round of construction, and although there are many moving parts to this undertaking, installing a lift to the second floor (also required by code) is by far the most anticipated.
