Organized on November 28, 1961, a new local lodge was
created in Aurora, Illinois, becoming Lodge # 472 and
named by its members POLAR STAR.
From 1961 to 1988, the lodge met in the Masonic Temple
at 124 South Lincoln Street in Aurora and then moved to
its current meeting location, St. Olaf Lutheran Church
in Montgomery, Illinois.
Polar Star Lodge hosted an annual Torsk Dinner for 43
consecutive years. Other activities have included corn
boils, Norwegian bingo, penny socials, picnics, our
annual Høstfest (a taste of Norway), 17th of May
celebrations, kumla dinners, and lefse making.
