Allyn Rose, Miss Maryland 2011, will be at our Masonic Open House to sign autographs and take photos. You won’t want to miss this! Plus, you can meet our members and see what we do behind the scenes in your community.
We were established in 1896 under a charter from the Grand Lodge of Maryland and Grand Master Shyrock. This blue lodge was named in honor of the bloodiest single day battle in American military history, where on September 17th of 1862, the neighboring battlefield was witness to more than 23,000 causalities from the North, the South, and Freemasonry.
We invite you to watch this short video (courtesy of the Grand Lodge of the State of Massachusetts) which describes Freemasonry, the greatest fraternity in the world.
Our Lodge stands as a tribute to those Brothers who gave their last full measure of devotion to their cause. Our first Worshipful Master, Frisby Doub grew up on that Battlefield and knew the horrors that war had brought to the tranquil landscape of western Maryland.
