Caledonia Lodge #299 is located in the village of Caledonia in Marion County and was Chartered in 1890. The lodge resides in the historic Union Block Building (build in 1875) and shares its meeting room with the village’s Masonic Lodge. The Village of Caledonia’s population has grown to 1,020 (twice the population from 2020) and its growth and prosperity was largely due to the railroad lines that still run through the center of town. If you’re in the area, visit us in Caledonia and enjoy our rich history!

About Our Lodge
Caledonia Lodge #299 sponsors and participates in many social and community events throughout the year and is always willing to lend a hand when it comes to fraternity and community.
This year, our lodge has collected food to be given out for the holidays, participated in the town’s Christmas Parade and even made it possible for Mr. & Mrs. Claus to attend! We have made it a lodge project help out community in various clean up projects, held a blood drive, purchased school supplies for kids, donated Coats, socks hats for homeless and needs children and adults. We have made visitations and volunteered at hospitals and senior homes, coach and sponsor a sports team for kids and intellectually challenged adults. Held and open house at our lodge for members, family, friend and co-workers as part of our recruitment efforts.
Our lodge has been and will always be dedicated to to our community as we spread the teachings of Friendship, Love and Truth…Faith, Hope and Charity in all that we endeavor to do.
As we are always looking for new members to join in the fun of Odd Fellowship, we ask that if our organization interests you, that you contact any member and let them know of your interest. They will be happy to tell you about what Odd Fellowship can mean to you and how to join.
