Over 100 Years of Brotherhood

Founded in 1923, Cornucopia Lodge 563 has been a cornerstone of our community for more than a century. What began as a small gathering of like-minded men has grown into a vibrant organization dedicated to making a positive impact.

1923

The Beginning

Cornucopia Lodge 563 was chartered on March 15, 1923, with 23 founding members. The first meetings were held in the old town hall while funds were raised for a permanent home.

1928

Our Home is Built

After five years of dedicated fundraising and community support, the lodge building at 123 Fellowship Way was completed and dedicated. It remains our home to this day.

1945

Service in Wartime

During World War II, lodge members organized bond drives, supported local families with deployed servicemen, and established a scholarship fund for children of fallen soldiers.

1973

Golden Anniversary

Celebrating 50 years, the lodge launched the Cornucopia Foundation, our charitable arm that has since distributed over $2 million in grants and scholarships.

2023

Centennial Celebration

We celebrated our 100th anniversary with a year of special events, community service projects, and the establishment of our Centennial Scholarship Endowment.
