Built in 1916, it continues to occupy a significant place in the community as a meeting and function space.

The little-altered building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

The Golden Rod Grange stands in the village center of Swanzey, on the west side of New Hampshire Route 32, opposite the church and town hall.

It is a two-story rectangular wooden structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.

The interior is divided into a meeting and dining hall with kitchen on the ground floor, and auditorium with antechamber on the upper level.
