SERVING FERNDALE SINCE 1931
A legacy still being written.
Ferndale Lodge was founded on March 28, 1931. In 1943, members acquired the former American State Bank building at 22856 Woodward Avenue, built in 1923, and held their first meeting there on April 5, 1944.
Generations later, the Lodge continues to bring neighbors together, support youth and veterans, strengthen local causes, and welcome new members into service and fellowship.
