History of Trollheim

The Sons of Norway Trollheim Lodge #511 was organized on November 16, 1972, under the leadership of its first president, Vernon Mork. The Lodge has since met monthly in St. Cloud, drawing membership from the St. Cloud area and surrounding central Minnesota communities such as Little Falls, Princeton, Milaca, Monticello, and Paynesville, among others. The Lodge’s membership has always been active and relatively steady in numbers throughout the more than four decades of its existence. During these years, Trollheim has developed strong traditions of community involvement, cultural ties to Norway, regular events and celebrations within the Lodge and for the public, and honorable service within the Sons of Norway district organization.
