175th Anniversary Celebration - March 14, 2026

On March 14, 2026, the brethren, families, and friends of Morton Masonic Lodge gathered to commemorate a truly monumental milestone in our history: our 175th Anniversary.

Chartered in January 1851, Morton Masonic Lodge has stood as a steadfast pillar of light, fellowship, and charity in our community for over a century and three-quarters. This special celebration allowed us to honor the dedication of the brothers who laid our early foundation, remember the rich history of our Lodge, and recognize those who continue to carry our Masonic traditions forward today.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us to reflect on our enduring legacy and to toast to the future. Here is to continuing our vital work, supporting our community, and strengthening the bonds of brotherhood for the next 175 years!
