The I.O.O.F. (Independent Order of Oddfellows) and Rebekah Lodges built the hall in 1936 and enlarged it in the early 1960's. It was used for their meetings and for social functions. After the Oddfellows Lodge (the men's lodge) gave up its charter in the 1980's, the Rebekah Lodge (the women's lodge) carried on for a few years. In 1989 because of needed hall repairs and a diminishing and aging membership the Rebekahs turned over the hall to the Millet and District Lions Club for $1.00. The Rebekahs continued to hold meeting there for a few more years until they, too, gave up their charter.
