ROOTED IN BAKERSFIELD. BUILT BY NEIGHBORS.

A historic hall.
A living legacy.

Our Grange was established in 1934. In 1940, neighbors built a hall that would become a home for generations of celebrations, dances, and community life.

Today, we’re still volunteer-led. Still bringing people together. And still caring for the place we call home.

THE VALUES WE LIVE BY

The principles of our order.

Every Grange meeting closes with the same words. At Fairfax Grange, they aren’t just ceremony — they’re how neighbors treat neighbors, and they’ve shaped this hall since it opened its doors.

“Let us add dignity to labor, and in dealing with our fellow men, be honest, be just, and fear not.”The closing of the Grange, spoken at the end of every meeting

Dignity

We add dignity to labor. Whether we’re setting up chairs, pouring coffee, or restoring our 1940 floor, the work itself has worth.

Honesty

Be honest, be just, and fear not. Fair dealing and plain words, with every neighbor, every time.

Care

Feeding the hungry, helping the fatherless and the widows. No one in this community should have to go it alone.

Service

Whatever we do, strive to do well. Quiet, peaceful citizens — showing up, doing good, and expecting nothing in return.

These aren’t words on a wall. They’re a way of belonging — and there’s a place for you in it.
