The American Legion Harford Post 39 is among the oldest of American Legion Posts, having been chartered on January 21, 1929 – just 10 years after The American Legion was incorporated by Congress. We are one of the largest Posts in the State of Maryland, with over 1,000 legion members alone. Combined with our Sons of The American Legion Squadron 39, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 39, and American Legion Riders Chapter 39, we serve over 1,700 members and their families. We are recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)19 Veteran's Organization. As such, any donations made to our post are considered as a tax-exempt donation by the donor.
If you have served at least one day of active military duty since December 7, 1941 and were honorably discharged or you are still serving active military duty honorably, you are eligible for membership with The American Legion.
The Post Legionnaires' and Auxiliary Unit 39 meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm (September - June), and last for approximately 90 minutes. During this time, the post is closed to all non-Post39 members and guests.
Sons of the American Legion meetings are held the Second Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm in Freedom Hall.
American Legion Riders Chapter 39 meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:30pm in Freedom Hall.
Our 3100 square foot Banquet Hall is the perfect venue for your gathering. Be it for a wedding or a wedding rehearsal dinner, family reunion, birthday party, promotion party, retirement ceremonies, training, and other events such as CPR classes for the public, recruiting, blood drives, holiday celebrations or for any occasion, this is the place to be!
