Sons of Norway was organized as a fraternal benefit society by 18 Norwegian immigrants in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 16, 1895. Its goal was to protect members and their families from the financial hardships experienced during times of sickness or death. The mission expanded to include the preservation of Norwegian heritage and culture. It is the largest Norwegian organization outside Norway. It promotes Norwegian traditions and fraternal fellowship through the cultural and social opportunities offered in local lodge and district lodge activities. These activities include language camps and classes, scholarships, handicrafts, cooking and heritage classes, heritage programs, sports programs, travel opportunities, Viking Magazine, and outreach programs. The lodge may be rented out for wedding receptions, parties and other events.
