The Lodge was originally called the Bass Lake Lodge. The first Governor was Brother Paul Reed and the original Lodge meeting place was Millers Grill at a cost of $7.00 a month.

The Lodge was renamed from Bass Lake # 807 to Knox # 807 in May, 1943. In 2000 the Lodge, with the blessing of Moose International, became recognized as the Knox Moose Family Center # 807.

The present Lodge home was constructed in 1952. The interior was extensively remodeled in 2004. The Knox Lodge currently rosters approximately 400 Lodge Brothers and nearly 250 Women of the Moose.  

The Chapter of the Women of the Moose (Chapter # 633) was instituted in 1943. The ladies of the Women of the Moose are a vital source of ideas, energy, and financial support for various events.

The active Moose Legion Club attracts members to dinners and other programs.

Community service programs have been a hallmark of the Knox Moose Family Center, as evidenced by numerous Community Service awards, The most significant recent project has been the Starke County Hospice. This Hospice was formed in 2002 and has had a very positive impact on the community. Additional projects active in 2005 include raising funds for and construction of a skate board park.

Knox Moose Family Center  members enjoy lodge activities such as the Friday Night Fish Fry, monthly Saturday night dinners, and Karaoke and Dance contests.

We look forward to your visit to the Knox Moose Family Center # 807.

Thank you, Brother  Ken Arnett, for this brief history of the Knox Moose Lodge.
