In Massachusetts, there are 7 individual lodges of the Vasa Order of America, comprising MA District Two.
The Vasa Order of America was founded over a century ago as a benefit fraternal society for Swedish immigrants to the United States. Benefits included a funeral fund, and assistance during illness. Over the past century, many things have changed, and the Vasa Order has grown to meet the new needs of the Scandinavian American community. Today Vasa provides members a means to share their rich heritage with fellow Americans, and helps them to learn or remember the meaningful ways and values of the "Old Country".
We welcome men and women over 14 years of age of Nordic roots, (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish or Icelandic), and their spouses who would like to rediscover the traditions of their forefathers or share their Scandinavian heritage through membership.
All who are interested in promoting our Swedish and Nordic heritage and culture are welcome as well!
