Crescent Junior Grange Scrapbook - History Highlights of BroomfieldEntry/Object ID
2025.11.12Scope and Content
Item is a large hard-cover scrapbook from the Crescent Grange, an organization that served as a means of social gathering for early Broomfield residents. The cover is dark brown with gold accents, with the words "Crescent Junior Grange / #26" written on the front in black ink. Rather than being a traditional scrapbook of personal memories, this one contains information about the history of Broomfield written (mostly by hand) by Junior Grangers, members of a youth group run by the Crescent Grange. These entries include photographs, hand-drawn maps, and articles about the focal points of Broomfield's culture: its history as an agricultural center, its founding residents, and the institutions that grew the area. Important places are highlighted as well: the Methodist Church, the public library, schools, the bank, and the telephone office.Collection
