Our story is part of something even greater. The Order of Knights of Pythias, founded in 1864 and the first fraternal organization to receive a charter from the U.S. Congress, was established to promote the timeless virtues of Friendship, Charity, and Benevolence. From the earliest Supreme Lodge gatherings to the development of Grand Lodges across North America, Pythians have worked to uplift their communities and strengthen the bonds between neighbors.

Here in Fredericksburg, that legacy continues. Lodge No. 22 remains a place where men of good character come together to support one another, develop leadership, and serve the region we proudly call home.
