The Sons of Norway mission is to promote and preserve the heritage and culture of Norway, to celebrate its relationship with other Nordic Countries, and to provide quality insurance and financial products to its members.

About the Sons of Norway - Columbia Lodge 2-58
in Vancouver, WA -- Celebrating its 75th year

The Columbia Lodge, organized on October 14, 1949, is among the 24 local Sons of Norway lodges in communities throughout the state of Washington.   The 1928 map shown above, found among the records of the Clark County Historical Museum, indicates that the present-day Columbia Lodge building in the Vancouver west side Hough Neighborhood was formerly a church!

Many activities at the Columbia Lodge are open to the general public.   Click the "Events" tab above for our monthly Social Event, Genealogy Interest Group, Sunday brunches, and annual Christmas Bazaar in December.

Columbia Lodge has a wide variety of social events for all ages, and a monthly newsletter, The Nyhetter.

Columbia Lodge activities encourage expression of Norwegian culture and community concern.

Visitors are always welcome. Drop in on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 for the weekly Open House, enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea, and some light-hearted conversation.   Try your hand at a jigsaw puzzle, or ask for a tour of our Lodge, or get a package of Lefse .

Let us know if you are interested in learning to make Lefse.   Or Krumkakke, Spritz, or Sandbakelse.

Do you or your spouse have roots in Scandinavia?   Want to share some stories of your ancestry?   Exchange some recipes?   Or maybe you are looking for answers.   Come on in and meet some new friends.   No obligation, no pressure.   Just a warm atmosphere of friendship and fraternity.   You will find genuine smiles and a friendly handshake at the Columbia Lodge.   Even if you aren't of Nordic Heritage!
