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.

I'm not sure of the exact year, plus its not in its original location. Monitor Lodge was formed on Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia during the Civil War. The Union soldiers assigned to the USS Monitor, the US Navy's first ironclad warship, established the lodge because many of them were Masons from Maryland. So originally my lodge was under the Grand Lodge of Maryland. Later it was moved off of Fort Monroe and into the city itself and became holden to the Grand Lodge of Virginia.
