Today Lorraine Lodge #4 is the only remaining Odd Fellows lodge in Louisville Kentucky. Lorraine Lodge was founded in 1835 and has been a mainstay in the Louisville Community ever since. The Louisville lodge continues to engage in the community and strives to spread good will as we improve and elevate the character of mankind by promoting the principles of friendship, love, truth, faith, hope, charity and universal justice.
