Who Are Odd Fellows?
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded on the North American Continent in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 26, 1819 when Thomas Wildey and four members of the Order from England instituted Washington Lodge No. 1. This lodge received its charter from Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows in England.
We support the community and several charities with our time and money, and enjoy the fellowship of good men and women in the Metro DC area.
The Three Links of Odd Fellowship stand for Friendship, Love, and Truth.
