Membership was originally open to males of Norwegian descent between the ages of 20 and 50 who were capable of giving proof of being morally upright, in good health, and capable of supporting a family. A second lodge was established in South Minneapolis in 1899, and a third was founded in the northeastern section of the city in 1900. The Minneapolis model quickly spread. By the end of 1900, lodges had been established in cities and towns with substantial Norwegian-American populations across the United States. The organization published a monthly magazine, Sønner av Norge (Sons of Norway), which kept members updated on the activities of the group. In December 1938, the Sons of Norway absorbed the American auxiliary of The Knights of the White Cross Order (Riddere av Det Hvite Kors), which had been founded in Chicago in 1863. Women were admitted to local groups as early as 1916, in areas where the female auxiliary was unorganized. Daughters of Norway lodges in the Midwest were merged with the Sons of Norway in 1950 and a system of junior lodges was created in 1956. The Grand Lodge of the Daughters of Norway, which dates to 1908, continues as a separate association. Scope and Content: Correspondence, clippings, pamphlets, constitutions, reports, newsletters, souvenir programs, and historical sketches of a variety of Sons of Norway lodges in the United States, including the Supreme Lodge in Minneapolis. Also includes records from the Daughters of Norway. Access Rights: This collection is open to research. Bibliographic Citation: [Indicate the cited item here].

Formed by Norwegian immigrants, the lodge reflected the strong Norwegian-American community in Minneapolis at the turn of the twentieth century. Its members promoted mutual aid and fellowship while working to preserve Norwegian language, culture, and traditions among new generations. Oslo Lodge was closely associated with Norway Hall, a red-brick building constructed in 1923 at 2902 Chicago Avenue South, which served as a social and cultural center for the Norwegian-American community and was supported by both Sons and Daughters of Norway lodges. As one of the founding lodges in the city where the Sons of Norway organization began, Oslo Lodge No. 2 played a significant role in shaping the fraternal and cultural life of Minneapolis’s Norwegian population.

When the Order of Sons of Norway was first organized, there was no Nidaros Lodge—or any lodge at all. The initial step toward forming the organization occurred on January 6, 1895, when a group of Norwegian immigrants—many from the Trondheim and Selbu regions who had settled in a small colony in northern Minneapolis—gathered at 2029 Washington Ave. Eighteen men attended the meeting, presided over by James Peterson. All were enthusiastic about establishing a permanent society that could offer support during times of illness and foster a sense of community. The founders drew inspiration from a mutual-aid model familiar to some of them from Trondheim, where members contributed a small weekly fee in exchange for free medical care for themselves and their families. “It was in this spirit of real necessity that Sons of Norway was founded as a mutual assistance society, one built on the moral principles of American fraternalism” (Strom).

John Bachke served as its first president, and C. L. Larsen as secretary. The lodge offered modest sick benefits of $2 per week to assist early immigrants. Synnøve Lodge, Daughters of Norway No. 5, was formed on March 17, 1903, by about 20 young women seeking friendship and mutual support. In 1912, Nordkap Lodge dedicated a bust of Henrik Ibsen in St. Paul’s Como Park, where it still stands. Both lodges hosted Crown Prince Olav and Princess Martha at the 1925 Minnesota State Fair and supported Camp Little Norway during World War II through fundraising and knitting for soldiers. Membership declined during the war as many members served. In 1949, the lodges helped erect a Leif Erickson statue at the State Capitol, celebrating it annually with a parade. On January 15, 1969, Nordkap and Synnøve Lodges merged to form Synnøve-Nordkap Lodge No. 1-008.

Membership was originally open to males of Norwegian descent between the ages of 20 and 50 who were capable of giving proof of being morally upright, in good health, and capable of supporting a family. A second lodge was established in South Minneapolis in 1899 and a third was founded in the northeastern section of the city in 1900. The Minneapolis model quickly spread. By the end of 1900, lodges had been established in cities and towns with substantial Norwegian-American populations across the United States. The organization published a monthly magazine, Sønner av Norge (Sons of Norway), which kept members updated on activities of the group. In December 1938, the Sons of Norway absorbed the American auxiliary of The Knights of the White Cross Order (Riddere av Det Hvite Kors) which had been founded in Chicago in 1863. Women were admitted to local groups as early as 1916, in areas where the female auxiliary was unorganized. Daughters of Norway lodges in the Midwest were merged with the Sons of Norway in 1950 and a system of junior lodges was created in 1956. The Grand Lodge of the Daughters of Norway, which dates to 1908, continues as a separate association. Abstract: Correspondence, clippings, pamphlets, constitutions, reports, newsletters, souvenir programs, and historical sketches of a variety of Sons of Norway lodges in the United States, including the Supreme Lodge in Minneapolis. Also includes records from the Daughters of Norway.
