), established in 1886 by the Sovereign Grand Lodge, the international governing body of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
As part of their role to care for the widows and orphans, the Patriarchs Militant set up "PM Parks".
PM Parks gave children a summer vacation in a life that didn’t offer much luck.
Still to this day the PM Park in Clear Lake, Iowa is owned by the Patriarchs Militant.
At least once a year, the Patriarchs Militant make their way to the park for a week at a time holding meetings, ceremonies, and various other events.
Currently the PM Park establishment is a small summer retreat that offers a variety of options.
PM Park also offers short term apartments that are available just up the road from the restaurant, as well as a cottage for summer rental.
The bar only offers beverages and closes at midnight to respect the neighbors around PM Park.
