WHERE DID THEIR NAME COME FROM?    ON THE SECOND FLOOR ABOVE,
WAS THE ODD FELLOWS HALL.    THE LODGE WAS THERE IN THE EARLY 1900'S AND FOR MANY,  MANY YEARS AFTER.  IT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE AND
THE UPSTAIRS IS NOW EMPTY.    DURING ALL THOSE YEARS...MAQUOKETAN'S KNEW WHERE THE ODD FELLOWS HALL WAS.     AND FOR MANY YEARS,
THE MAIN FLOOR WAS THE HOME OF ONE OF  MAQUOKETA'S TWO NEWSPAPERS.
THE ODD FELLOWS NAME IS BACK AND YOU WILL LIKE WHAT GOES WITH THE NAME.     STOP IN SOON AND WELCOME STEVE AND ROXANNE TO
DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA.
