Our Encampment has its origin in Windom, MN. As the area Encampments merged charters, it became the lone survivor. Our membership has taken a recent uptake as there has been renewed interest in learning more about Odd Fellowship. The Patriarchal, Gold Rule, and Royal Purple Degrees enhance your Odd Fellowship experience. Yes, it is another meeting, but it continues to extend the fraternal bonds shared by its members.
