Beautiful Early 1900s Hand Painted Theatrical Backdrop - 78” X 67” - NICE For Sale

Pulled this straight out of Madison Lodge No. 172 (I.O.O.F.) in Fredericktown, Missouri — a lodge established in 1868, with this hall dating back to 1890s 🏛️

These are original hand-painted lodge backdrops, used during ceremonial degree work and initiations. Back then, the Odd Fellows didn’t just meet… they performed. Each scene was part of a larger symbolic story …representing life’s journey, morality, brotherhood, and the path we all walk.

I was lucky enough to pull two of them, along with original lodge tables that saw decades of meetings, meals, and handshakes.

This is the kind of stuff I love 🖤💯…not just old, but tied to a real place, real people, and real history!
