Boulder Oddfellows Lodge Celebrates its 150th Anniversary with an Open House on Saturday, October 19

In a time before social security or health insurance existed, Boulder's settlers, miners, millers, workers, and tradespeople came together to form Boulder's Independent Order of Oddfellows Lodge in the fall of 1869, with the mission to "visit the sick, relieve the distressed, educate the orphan and bury the dead. "  The Boulder lodge continues this tradition in part by supporting local charities, youth events, summer camps, educational programs and sports teams.    If you're curious about Boulder's history, Oddfellowship, what could possibly be up there, or why the group is called the Oddfellows, stop by on Saturday for a visit.
