Council Hall #44, is a historic clubhouse of the Zapadni Ceska Bratrska Jednota serving the Czech-American community in rural Freeborn County, Minnesota, United States.^[3]

It is located on County Road #30 about 2.5 miles north of Myrtle in the southeastern part of Freeborn County.^[4] It was built in 1909 and cost approximately $3,300.^[4]^:2

The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1986.^[1] It was deemed significant as the last surviving one of three fraternal lodge buildings serving immigrants from Bohemia that was located in southeastern Freeborn County. It was a social and cultural center that had an annual festival and parade, and it provided insurance to its members.^[4]^:3

In 1985, the stage area of the hall still included a historic mural painted by a Mr. Avery early in the 1900s depicting Karlstejn Castle in Bohemia.^[4]^:2
