Description
The United Ancient Order of Druids of California are a fraternal benefit organization established in Placerville in 1860. It has its origins in England, but is not associated with the sacrificial Druids of Stonehenge. The Order is based on the ancient Druids beliefs of benevolence and education and was founded on sound morality. Our mission is to promote knowledge, unity and peace. Currently there are 13 Groves (or lodges) plus the Grand Grove in California. The farthest south is Bakersfield and the farthest north is Point Arena. We normally meet one or two times per month to take care of business obligations and put on dinners or fundraisers. We are open to new members to join us. We encourage anyone looking to get involved in a local community group to give us a call or drop by for one our dinners.
