Lodge's Name

This lodge is another of our very special early lodges belonging to the original Daughters of Norway of the Pacific Coast, which officially changed its name to Daughters of Norway in 1950. These lodges generally took their names from Nordic mythology, some heavenly body or a geographical reference. In Norwegian, Stjernen literally means "the star."
