Hale, famous for his growing of peaches in Glastonbury, also organized the town’s chapter of the Grange in 1885 and became Master of the Connecticut State Grange in 1886, serving for four years. He also served as a representative to the state’s General Assembly and was a founding trustee of the Connecticut Agricultural College In 1929 the Glastonbury Grange erected a new Hall, called Good Will Grange Hall, at 43 Naubuc Avenue. Today, the Glastonbury Grange #26 meets at the Masonic Hall at 895 Main Street and the East Central Pomona Grange #3 (founded in 1887) meets at Good Will Grange Hall.
