Private Clubs — North Liberty
'Rich private clubs' is a city leg, and North Liberty answers it at township size with fraternal lodges instead of country clubs: a Masonic lodge on Main Street, two veterans' posts with their own halls and bars, and a penumbra of memberships held in neighboring towns' lodges. There is no country club, no downtown athletic club and no founded-here order. The leg works each institution the record names, with its number, and prints the grand classes as the tested negatives they are.
The Masons: North Liberty Lodge No. 266, F. & A.M.
128 North Main Street
The town's senior lodge stands on its main street. North Liberty Lodge No. 266 F. & A.M. carries its address at 128 North Main Street in the federal nonprofit record (NonProfitFacts / IRS exempt-organizations data), which dates…
The American Legion: Post 365
308 Reed Street (also printed 308 South Reed Street)

The VFW: Post 1954
66992 Tamarack Road (printed Tamerack in ATC records)
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1954 holds the township's second veterans' hall, south of town at 66992 Tamarack Road, and its paper trail is the permit record: the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission's local-board schedules carry 'Veterans of Foreign Wars 1954 Inc, DBA V.F.W. #1954, 66992 Tamerack Dr, North Liberty' (the ATC's spelling, Tamerack, prints alongside the road's usual Tamarack) holding a Beer Wine & Liquor — Fraternal Club permit, RC7115303, through the July 2018 and July 2020 renewal cycles. The post functions in the town's civic calendar as well as its night one: the North Liberty Elementary newsletter for April 2018 schedules youth-league registration at 'VFW Post 1954, North Liberty,' and its honor guard shares graveside honors with the Legion (the Kelly funeral, 2001, Porter Rea Cemetery).
Elks, Eagles, Moose, Knights, Odd Fellows: the memberships held elsewhere
Tested
The remaining orders of the floor's census print as a single documented pattern: North Liberty men and women held them in other towns' lodges. The obituary record is explicit and repeated — Fassett was 'a former member of the…
Service clubs, the country-club test, and the present state
As of November 2026
The service-club class is carried in this build where the record puts it: Tri Kappa's chapter giving, itemized in the school minutes (art, band, choir, theatre, academics), is the town's best-documented service-club line, and the…
