Fraternal Histories of Crawford County Indiana

The focus of this site is to provide any historical evidence of the various fraternities of the county. I am searching for membership records, photos of any type, meeting minutes, fliers for events, memorabilia or regalia, etc…

Lodges in Crawford County

During the golden age of fraternities in the county (mid late 1800s to 1940s), there were over 50 fraternities that were present. Due to various circumstances over the years, mainly population decrease, most of these organizations have cease to exist. A few of them still remain. Below is a list of the towns and the lodges that were associated with the town. Unless noted, the lodges are now all defunct. I did not include any military or religious group, nor any single locally based organization. The groups listed are (were) of a national (or at least regional) network.
