Lodges and Social Groups
In Mokelumne Hill, the I.O.O.F. (International Order of Odd Fellows) added their third floor meeting room to this stone building in 1861.
Organizations from the IOOF and the Masons to E Clampus Vitus and the Pythians were important to the development of a sense of community in the area’s early days. Such fraternal organizations brought men together to help create the society they envisioned. Many of them continue today.
