The IOOF Lodge in Thompson Falls, Montana, United States, also known as Odd Fellows Hall, was built in 1901 and served historically as a clubhouse and as a meeting hall.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

It was built for the Lone Star Lodge #33 of the International Order of Odd Fellows. The chapter was founded in 1889 with 27 original members and grew to over 100 members by 1901.[2]

It is one of the oldest surviving masonry buildings in Thompson Falls, and it is significant for its association with the Odd Fellows and social and charitable activity.[2]
