Pulaski City Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Lodge

Christiansburg Institute Museum and Archives has a stamp which is proof that this lodge existed.

The lodge is listed in the Official History and Manual of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in … by Charles H. Brooks on page 192.

We have much to learn about this Lodge and the people who belonged. This lodge was created before the Roanoke City Lodge, known as Roanoke, #3225, dated 13 March 1890 and the Blacksburg’s Tadmore Light Lodge, #6184

Preservation of Historic St Luke, Odd Fellows & House of Ruth Under One Roof – Blacksburg, Virginia

St Luke, Odd Fellows, & House of Ruth Orders served the African American Communities which were settled soon after emancipation and located within the Town of Blacksburg and the surrounding areas within the Montgomery County, Virginia.

Within the region we know that a lodge existed in Roanoke, Christiansburg, Pulaski (Radford) and Blacksburg. The documents indicate that they were in close communications. Who was instrumental in bringing these orders to the New River Valley? Who interfaced with Maggie Walker’s Penny Savings Bank? Much to discover.
