Hodgson Soldier's Memorial Hall was officially opened on Saturday 21 May 1949. It was erected in memory of Hodgson residents who had died in military service during World War I and World War II.[9] Between 350 and 400 people attended the opening.[10]

Hodgson Community Church opened on Sunday 31 July 1949. As Hodgson had never had a church, the community led by Mrs Knowles raised funds to build a church which could be used by any religious denomination.[11][12] It was in Hodgson Lane North. Circa 1990, the church was relocated to be used as a hall at the rear of the Salvation Army church in Roma.[13][14]
