Post 363 · 214 S. Lake St. · the town's living post
The American Legion is present in Lakeville, and its post is alive. Lakeville Post 363 stands at 214 S. Lake St., Lakeville — the Legion's own post locator carries it, and the state answers for its present life in the current season: the post's liquor permit (Indiana ATC permit RC7107499, trading as "Servicemen's Club") stands listed Active on the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission's agenda of 6 October 2026. Its Sons of the American Legion squadron, Squadron 363, reported through the department's 2019 membership year at a goal of about 141–142 members — a small post's squadron of real size. Its past reaches back on one obituary's word: a Lakeville man who died in 2008 is carried as a 50-year member of the post, which proves local Legion life reaching to the late 1950s — and proves nothing about a charter year, and is not printed as one.
What this section cannot give the post is its own story, and the gaps stand named rather than papered. The post's name — Legion posts are commonly named for a fallen serviceman, and whether Post 363 carries one is not stated by any carrier read; the Department of Indiana's post records are the settler. Its charter date stands in a conflict this section prints and does not resolve: the post's federal exempt-organisation record carries a ruling year of February 1945, while the department's own post data carries March 1946 — and its Auxiliary unit's record carries January 1933, earlier than either, the three figures printed together precisely so that none of them is mistaken for a founding date, which none of them is: an exempt ruling dates a tax status, not a charter. The post's hall history — when the Lake Street building was raised, and what stood or served before it — was found in no carrier read; the department's records and the county's parcel record are its settlers. The Legion's own site builds no page for this post, and no post page was found at any address; the post speaks in this record through the locator, the state permit, its squadron's reports, and its members' obituaries, which is the true size of its public paper trail in November 2026.
