HISTORICAL SKETCH

Vittoria Colonna Lodge No. 1355 was the second of three OSIA chapters organized in Racine, Wisconsin (chartered on March 22, 1925) and also one of two women's lodges founded in that state. Since it was not under the jurisdiction of a grand lodge, it was subordinate to the National Lodge. In 1982 it was one of two active lodges in the state. By 1999, it was no longer active.
