Helena Post of Legion 15 Now 10 Years of Age
Lewis and Clark post No. 2 of the American Legion hosts this year’s state convention celebrating its 19th birthday. The Helena post formed in 1919, evolving from earlier World War veterans groups, and expanded to World War Veterans of Lewis and Clark county before adopting the American Legion name. The post’s growth included 144 initial members, later surpassing 23 members, with the auxiliary and Sons of Legionnaires forming, and finally converting the old Episcopal church on Grand Street into a spacious meeting and recreation hall. Under current organization, it remains a hub for Legion activities and community gatherings.
