Post History
Lloyd H. Green Post 147 of Northville was founded on August 20, 1920. The post is named after a young communications courier — the only Northville resident casualty of the Great War. Charter members and a growing membership met at various locations, including facilities owned by Henry Ford, with the goal of establishing a “Memorial Hall” to assist returning veterans and serve as a community center. The Neal property, including a two-story clapboard residence, was purchased and a fundraising campaign began in 1942.
Two years later, $20,000 was raised to begin renovations. The structure was rotated, a basement was added, and the building was covered in brick — a lounge and kitchen below, event space on the first floor, and temporary barracks above for recovering veterans of WWII and Korea. For more than a century, the post has served as a social center for the community, dedicated to the principles of service, justice, freedom, and democracy.
