About Danish Sisterhood of America Ellen Lodge 21
The Danish Sisterhood of America Ellen Lodge #21 represents a living legacy of cultural preservation in Denver, CO, with roots tracing back to 1883 when the organization was first established to support Danish immigrants and maintain their cherished traditions. As the only active Danish Sisterhood lodge in Colorado, Ellen Lodge #21 has been an integral part of the Denver community since its founding in 1892, connecting members across generations and geographical boundaries. The lodge welcomes individuals from all walks of life—first-generation Danes, descendants of Danish families, and those simply passionate about Danish culture—creating an inclusive community bound by common heritage and shared values.
Gathering monthly with occasional special events, members participate in meaningful cultural activities that foster connection, friendship, and the continuation of Danish traditions. The organization has grown to include approximately 37 members from throughout the Denver metro area and surrounding regions, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Danish cultural identity. Ellen Lodge #21 embodies the original mission of the Danish Sisterhood: to support community members in preserving their heritage while building lasting bonds with others who appreciate the richness of Danish culture and traditions.
