The Delton Moose Lodge was formed on April 16, 1978 by Rush Stidham. The land was donated by Merwyn and Pauline Campbell. The original building consisted of the half of the building that holds the bar area. The addition was built around 1991.

Unfortunately, we do not have records going back that far to know how many members there were at that time. But, we do have records going back to 2007. At that time we had 215 active Lodge members and another 100 for the Women of the Moose. At that time women were members of a separate chapter.

In 2016 there were 243 active members and by 2021 we had grown substancially to 760 members. As of January 2024 we now have over 1100 members! I say "over" because we just keep growing.

By the way, if you are a member that has knowledge of the history of the Lodge that you think members would find interesting, please shoot us an email at deltonmoose@yahoo.com.

You may have joined the Moose for the great, inexpensive meals and to meet some new people, but the Moose is way more than that. The Delton Moose is an integral part of our community.

In 2023 we held fundraisers for the DK Band Boosters, The Shack, the Orangeville Community Outreach, Barry County Veterans Memorial Dog Park, the Hastings Band and Performing Arts, McCallum Church, Pierce Cedar Creek, the Community Housing Revitalization, Delton Kellogg Education Foundation, Barry County Cares - totaling $5513 in funds raised that was donated to these organizations.

We also made other contributions in the form of sponsorships totaling over $1100 in various organizations throughout Barry County.

We opened our doors for organizations like the Rotary and Senior Mystery Trip to use our facilities to promote their own fundraisers.

We hosted our annual Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Party and Breakfast with Santa, touching the lives of over 250 children in our community.

These things don't happen without the support of the members so don't forget to visit the Volunteer Opportunities page to see where we need your help!
