The Grange turns INSIDE / OUT this fall to provide movies, lectures, music and more via Zoom and other digital platforms. To help keep everyone healthy, we’ll be presenting great programs that you can be part of wherever you are.

Lyceum lecture #3: Elizabeth Lee, local educator and Grange board member, and SUNY Plattsburgh professor Danielle Garneau, will present the latest research on the impact of microplastics released into Lake Champlain by water treatment plants in Vermont and New York.
