LODGE'S NAME
This lodge is another of our very special early lodges belonging to the original Daughters of Norway of the Pacific Coast2. These lodges generally took their names from Nordic mythology, some heavenly body or a geographical reference. In Norwegian, Stjernen literally means "the star." It probably refers to a guiding star like the North Star.
- 1 Lodge meetings vary during the year, especially the summer months. It is advisable to contact the lodge for their exact schedule.
