History

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, IOOF, is an international fraternal organization founded on the North American continent in 1819, guided by the command to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan, and identified by the three links of Friendship, Love and Truth as its official symbol. In Gunnison, IOOF Lodge 39 was constructed on this site in 1916, but the building was destroyed by fire on January 1, 1991. The lot was later used as a public park and was officially purchased by the city in 2014, and the park's name honors the legacy and lasting contributions of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Gunnison.
