Knights of Pythias of Dodge County, Nebraska
This is one of the more modern civic societies, founded at the
close of the Civil war in the City of Washington, where Lodge
No. 1 was instituted. It has grown wonderfully and now ranks
along third in the great secret orders, Masons and Odd Fellows
only being ahead in this class of fraternities. In Dodge County
this order is not strong, although some lodges have been
organized.

the banks of Platte River, four miles west of Fremont, known as
Knights of Pythias Park, purchased in September, 1919, at a cost
of $2,000, and has here made many improvements so that today it
is well worth double its cost price.
The only other active lodge of this order in Dodge County now is
at Hooper.
