My lodge is 124 years old and on June 17, 2011, 125 years to the day the lodge received it's charter, we are planning a lodge re-dedication as well as a lunch and reception of the Grand Master. I am putting together a history of the lodge and hope to be able to have it completed this year. My family has been a part of this lodge since it was founded (my great-grandfather was a charter member) and I would like to continue that tradition and preserve it's history. The Grand Lodge of Nebraska is only 154 years old.

My Lodge was first officially chartered in 1786 - we celebrate 224 years next Friday - but was probably formed in a looser fashion in 1780. We plan on doing an original Ritual I next year, using the Ritual from about 1790 for an Initiation.
