Scottsburg Odd Fellows Lodge 555

🤝🏽 Scottsburg Lodge #555, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, welcomes Mayberry back to Scott County! 🤝🏽

From June 12-14, 2026, the streets of Scottsburg will once again be filled with the friendship, fellowship, and small-town values that made Mayberry famous during Mayberry Comes to Scottsburg. The three-day festival features celebrity guests, tribute artists, music, parades, meet-and-greets, and family-friendly entertainment in downtown Scottsburg.

As Odd Fellows, we can’t help but think of the classic Andy Griffith Show episode “The Lodge” (Season 7, Episode 2). In that episode, Andy Taylor sponsors Howard Sprague for membership in Mayberry’s men’s lodge, where fellowship, friendship, and belonging become central themes. Howard’s desire to be accepted and become part of something bigger than himself mirrors the same principles that have guided Odd Fellowship for generations.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded on the ideals of Friendship, Love, and Truth. Like the lodge portrayed in Mayberry, our organization brings neighbors together, encourages service to others, and builds lifelong bonds through fellowship and community involvement.

When Mayberry comes to Scottsburg, it reminds us that strong communities are built when people care for one another, lend a helping hand, and gather as friends—not unlike the values that have sustained Scottsburg Lodge #555 for well over a century.

We invite everyone to visit Mayberry Comes to Scottsburg and experience the spirit of small-town America that continues to thrive right here in Scott County.

“A stranger is a friend you have not met yet.” — A fitting sentiment for both Mayberry and Odd Fellowship.

Scottsburg IOOF Lodge #555 is proud to partner with the Scott County Fire Chiefs and Firefighters in donating $20,000 to the Crusade for Children.

For more years than many of us can remember, our local firefighters have stood at intersections throughout Scott County collecting donations to support this incredible cause. Through the generosity of our community, the Crusade for Children has consistently returned 75% or more of the funds raised to help Scott County children facing health challenges and special needs.

We are fortunate to have dedicated firefighters who selflessly serve our community year after year—not only by protecting our homes, families, and property, but also by working tirelessly to support our children through the Crusade for Children.

To our Fire Chiefs—Joe Smith of Jennings Township, James Richie of Scottsburg, Wayne Williams of Vienna Township, Jeff Lynch of Lexington, Brad Williams of Finley Township, John Lord of Johnson Township—and to all the firefighters of Scott County, the Odd Fellows extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation. Your commitment to service makes a lasting difference in the lives of local children and families.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is honored to partner with you in support of such a worthy cause.

Never forget the Odd Fellow motto:

Friendship, Love and Truth.

This Memorial Day, the brothers of I.O.O.F. Scottsburg Lodge 555 join our community across Scott County and Southern Indiana in honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Today is more than a holiday — it is a day of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice so future generations could live in freedom. Their courage, honor, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As Odd Fellows, we are reminded of the values of friendship, love, and truth, and the importance of standing together as a community to honor those who gave everything for others.

May we always remember the fallen, support their families, and carry forward the spirit of unity and service that strengthens our nation and our communities. 🇺🇸
