Meetings were held in the old
Grange Hall. As years went by
property was acquired and a
Quenset hut set up across from
the Ketchikan Spruce Mills Lum
ber yard in Palmer. Members
soon built a basement and in 1951
the present Moose Hall was com
pleted. A dedication meeting and
initiation was held in the hall on
November 4, 1951. Since that time
the hall has been used for many
purposes by the Moose and other
■organizations of Palmer. Notable
■among these have been the many
fine banquets served by the
Women of the Moose.
From the beginning, the local
Moose lodge took their* part in
supporting the many civic pro
jects that the growing city of Pal
mer had needed—the Palmer Air
port—the Valley Hospital Health
Council, and the cemetery' as
sociation are only a few.
In 1949 the lodge sponsbred a
•community- “Alaska’s Favorite
Game'’ night which netted $500
for the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis emergency
:fund
All worth while community
projects have always been given
•a hand. A Junior baseball pro
gram was started many years ago
and the present Little and Pony
Leagues are the outgrowth of
that beginning.! Teenage parties
and dances have been held in
Moose Hall for several years.

hosts to the Alaska Moose Asso
ciation during their territorial
conference. This was the first ter- .
ritorial-wide convention to be !
held in Palmer. Meetings were ;
