Help us save our trees.
The Granite Threshing Bee grounds means so much to all of us—it’s where memories are made, stories are shared, and our community comes together year after year. Seeing the impact the ash borer has on our trees is very difficult, and we know we can’t take on this challenge alone. If you’re able to give, please know how deeply appreciated it truly is—every bit of support helps us care for this special place we all love. Thank you for always standing behind Granite and helping us keep us strong for the for all of our visitors throughout the year and for our next generation. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us or reach out to a board member.
We will also be collecting donations during the Threshing Bee at the General Store and Registration Booth.
