Our Lodge

One hundred and sixteen years in Oldham County

Chartered as Logos, renamed for the town, and still meeting on the same two Tuesdays.

Pewee Valley Lodge No. 829 at 6413 Railroad Avenue, Crestwood
1856

The town gets its name. A meeting called to settle the matter had reached deadlock when a small flycatcher outside broke the argument with its own suggestion — pe-wee. The bird won. Before that it was Smith's Station, a stop on the Louisville & Frankfort line, and later a fashionable summer resort for Louisville families.

1910

On the 7th of January the Grand Lodge of Kentucky granted a dispensation, and the lodge was instituted under the personal direction of Grand Master John H. Cowles. It was first called Logos, then renamed Pewee Valley — identifying it with the town.

1910

The first meetings were held in the McAllister building, known today as The Olde Sweet Shoppe. Evan T. Hammond served as the first Master, with Alexander S. McFarlan as Senior Warden and John F. Harcourt as Junior Warden.

1912

The lodge moved into a purpose-built room above a hardware store — the building that now houses the Little Colonel Playhouse.

Today

We meet above the old firehouse at 6413 Railroad Ave. in Crestwood, between Highway 22 and Highway 146. Eighty-five brothers are on the rolls.
