Title: Community Center or Masonic Lodge

"Many happy events were celebrated in the bottom floor of the Arcadia Masonic Lodge, which was called the Community Center. The Lodge is a very historical part of the local history and my father was a Mason. We were not allowed to go in the upstairs where the Masons met but the bottom floor is where we met for community meetings, singings, 4H meetings, baby and wedding showers and many more happy occasions. This is where my wedding shower was held."

"Downtown Arcadia was where it was, but now it's been moved approximately 2 miles west on FM 138."
