Lodge History

A Brief History of F.O.P. In Clark County, Kentucky

The present Lodge's name is Winchester ~ Clark County F.O.P. Lodge #34, Inc.  It was established on April 13, 1976.  There were 23 members who signed the open charter.  The first Executive Board of our Lodge consisted of:

President ~ Glen Spivey

Vice-President ~ Harold Embs

Secretary ~ Edward Wilson

Treasurer ~ Edward Wilson

Conductor ~ Bob Jones

Guard ~ Roy Wasson

State Trustee ~ George Mayberry

Chaplain ~ Larry Lawson

Presently Lodge #34 has 64 members, is located 1/2 mile outside of Winchester on Old Muddy Creek Road.  The Lodge is 3000 square feet on top of a hillside on 5.2 acres of land with a commanding view of the countryside.  Also on the property is located a 1140 square picnic shelter complete with a bar and brick bar-b-que, all of which is enjoyed by the membership.

Prior to establishing Lodge #34 there existed, from September 1961 to October 1971, another F.O.P. Lodge in Clark County.  It's name was Winchester F.O.P. Lodge #18.  It apparently, from all indications, had it's charter revoked due to member apathy.

Today's Winchester ~ Clark County F.O.P. is alive, well and thriving.  Come visit and check us out.
