Independent Order of Odd Fellows (Manchester Unity roots / local lodges)
Manchester·United Kingdomest. 1810s (UK roots; US reorganization 1819)
Historic mutual-aid fraternal order with living lodges in the UK and elsewhere. Ritual, charity and hall culture remain; many lodges now open community events beyond classic membership alone.
Mutual aid that outlived its original insurance function. Look up a local lodge hall rather than treating Odd Fellowship as only a museum label.
