Welcome to American Freedom Lodge
American Freedom Lodge is dedicated to providing information and resources for individuals interested in outdoor activities, hunting, and fishing. Our goal is to promote the outdoor lifestyle, share knowledge about hunting and fishing, and provide a platform for like-minded individuals to connect and engage with each other. We believe in the freedom of the great outdoors and aim to celebrate the spirit of adventure and exploration.
Hello!
Allow me to introduce myself, I am Rob Pierpont Chairman of Americas Freedom Lodge. I was approached by Mark Armstrong eighteen years ago about his idea of getting disabled Veterans "Back into the Outdoors" and since then this organization has blossomed into what you see today.
I have spent most of my life here in central Ohio but in the 80's l grew up living in southwest Florida. There is where I learned and enjoyed the experience of the south's great outdoors where you could find me scuba diving, being on the water, hunting hogs and rattlesnakes and racing BMX.
As an adult I have been heavily involved as a Volunteer Fireman (28 years), Boy Scouts of America (9 years), a member of Licking Lodge 291, and Christian Bowhunters. I continue to be very passionate about the outdoors in all facets. I would say Deer hunting, learning about deer is at the top of my list.
​
I would like to Thank You for following our page, spreading our word, attending our Bash and giving us support in any way you can. Without your help what we do for our disabled Veterans might not be possible.
Thank You
Rob Pierpont

Fund Raising
Annual AFL Bash is our biggest and most profitable fundraiser, it all comes down to this day and this event. 80% of the money that we operate on, the money that helps get our Veterans back into the outdoors comes from this 2 days of fun. We usually have about 90 volunteers on the floor to make sure that things run smoothly, and everyone is safely having an exciting time! Need something, no need to leave your seat, the volunteers will be by to refill your drinks, collect your trash, and even deliver your beer! Sit back, relax, and help us support an amazing cause and have a fun time doing it!
Contact any AFL staff Member, Utica Feed and Hardware, or watch our Facebook page (AFL Bash) to get a ticket.
