WHO WE ARE

We are the Harald Haarfager Lodge in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. We formed in 1910 with encouragement from the Tordenskjold in Spokane, Washington.  We are part of District 2, which includes lodges in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska.  

 

Who was Harald Haarfager? Besides being the father of Eric Bloodaxe and Haakon the Good, Harald Haarfager (or Harald Fairhair) is considered the first king of Norway, reigning sometime between about 872 and 930. He is credited for the initial unification of Norway.​

WHAT WE DO

We enjoy and promote the culture of Norway: traditions, crafts, and food!

The Harald Haarfager Lodge has been preserving and promoting the culture of Norway in the Inland Northwest since 1910.
