Welcome to the Lodi Historical Society!

Help Us save the Historic city hall & Firehouse! 

We are currently trying to restore and rehabilitate the long neglected and threatened building at 114 North Main Street that was built in 1912 to serve as the city’s second city hall.  The brick building served as Lodi City Hall until 1928 when the current city hall was built on Pine Street.  It became home to the Lodi Fire Department from 1928 to 1967 when the LFD moved to a new building on West Elm Street. The building was occasionally used after this but was essential left to ruin and decay.  Help us turn this wonderful building into a Museum of Lodi History and meeting hall for our local firefighters.
