Danish Sisterhood of America Ellen Lodge 21
About Danish Sisterhood of America Ellen Lodge 21
The Danish Sisterhood of America (Dansk Søster Samfund) or DSS was started in 1883 when the first Lodge was organized in Michigan. The purpose was to support Danish immigrants in the USA and to maintain Danish traditions. Ellen Lodge #21 is currently the only lodge in Colorado and was founded in 1892. We have about 37 members from all over the Denver metro area and even some who live out of state. We meet once a month - sometimes more if there are special events. Some of us are first generation Danes, others are 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Some simply have an interest in Danish heritage.
We come from "many walks of life" but we all have a common interest in everything Danish.
