| Abstract: | The Jonasova Ratolest Lodge No. 107 of the Zapadni Cesko-Bratrska Jednota was organized on April 7, 1901. The organization served the Czech community of approximately 260 individuals (in 1910) which was centered five to six miles south of Canby, Minn. Meetings were held in the Bohemian Hall, located in Hansonville Township of Lincoln County. The lodge remained active into the 1950s. The Bohemian Hall of Lincoln County, Minnesota was built sometime between 1901 and 1906, and served as the meeting place for the Západní Cesko-Bratrska Jednota, Jonasova Ratolest Lodge No. 107. Located in Hansonville Township of Lincoln County, the hall served as the center for social life of Czech Americans in the Canby, Minn. Region. The property on which the Bohemian Hall was situated was deeded to the ZCBJ on March 9, 1907. The structure, its contents, and property were auctioned off in September 1988. | |
