Lodge Boleslav Jablonsky No. 219 is added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is an example of a fraternal lodge created in Minnesota around the turn of the century by Czech immigrants who had broken from Catholicism to join the free-thought movement. These lodges served their communities' social and cultural needs, including those normally met by churches.
