About Us
Welcome to Our Lodge!
We are a community of Freemasons with a rich history of over 100 years. Our Lodge is home to the Cowboy Degree Team, a unique group that adds a fun and distinctive twist to our Masonic tradition.
Our Lodge has never had the same Worshipful Master for more than one term, ensuring that fresh perspectives and ideas are continually brought to the table. Our commitment to developing the next generation of Masons is reflected in the multiple members of our Lodge who are involved in training and mentoring programs.
We hold regular practices throughout the week that are open to members of other Lodges who wish to attend. This fosters a sense of camaraderie and fraternity among the Masonic community, while also providing an opportunity for skill-building and learning.
At our Lodge, we value the principles of brotherhood, charity, and self-improvement. We strive to make a positive impact in our community through various philanthropic endeavors and service projects.
We welcome anyone who is interested in joining our community of Masons, whether you are a seasoned member or a newcomer to the craft. We invite you to come and visit us, meet our members, and experience the spirit of Freemasonry firsthand.

Brotherhood is not just a bond between men, it is a shared commitment to a set of values and ideals. It is the recognition that we are all in this together, and that we are stronger when we work together. When we support each other, when we lift each other up, we create a bond that is unbreakable.
Brotherhood is more than just a word, it is a way of life. It is about putting others before yourself, about giving of yourself to make the world a better place. It is about standing by your brothers in good times and bad, and being there to lend a helping hand when needed. Brotherhood is a commitment to something greater than oneself, and it is a bond that lasts a lifetime.

The Origins and Evolution of Freemasonry: A Historical Overview
The Origins and Evolution of Freemasonry: A Historical Overview
Introduction: Freemasonry is one of the oldest and most fascinating organizations in the world. It has a long and complex history that dates back to the medieval period. This blog will provide a historical overview of the origins and evolution of freemasonry.
Body: The origins of freemasonry are shrouded in mystery. Many theories exist about its origins, but there is no concrete evidence to support any one theory. Some believe that it originated from the guilds of stonemasons who built the great cathedrals of Europe. Others believe that it is rooted in the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and Greece.
One of the first documented references to freemasonry can be found in the Regius Manuscript, which dates back to the 14th century. This manuscript outlines the regulations and rules of a society of masons in England.
Over time, freemasonry evolved and became more organized. Lodges were established, and ritualistic ceremonies were developed. The first grand lodge was established in London in 1717, which marked the beginning of modern freemasonry.
Freemasonry quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually to North America. In the United States, freemasonry played an important role in the founding of the country. Many of the founding fathers were freemasons, and the principles of freemasonry influenced the development of American democracy.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, freemasonry continued to evolve. New lodges were established, and new rituals and ceremonies were created. Today, freemasonry is a global organization with millions of members around the world.
