Lodge building circa 1830 Amory Building used as housing for the Harpers Ferry Arsenal in lower town Harpers Ferry. Virginia. Lodge No. 1 was instituted in 1833 by Thomas Wildey at the arsenal. Wildey was compensated $15.00 for his travels to and from Baltimore MD. The Building was deeded to the Odd Fellows in 1867 to replace the war-ravaged building in lower town. The deed was signed by the Secretary of War. A Parade Banner was taken to Connecticut during the war for safekeeping and was returned to the lodge in the 1960s. Restoration of the banner was done in the 1990s and is hanging in a prominent place in the Lodge. There is much Civil War graffiti on the walls with names that are legible and the lodge is doing research on these soldiers.
