Members of Hvezda Texas, the Texas quot;Starquot; Lodge, met in Thomas Mikulastik's blacksmith shop and the Seaton School before building their first lodge hall in 1906 at this site. They added more land and facilities over the years, including a larger hall.

It has also hosted community activities, including dances, reunions, meetings and area agricultural fairs.
