Wayne Lodge, No. 25 F&AM

Wayne Lodge, No. 25 F&AM Established in 1823, Wayne Lodge #25 is the first lodge established in northern Indiana. Alexander Ewing, John P. Hedges, and Dr. Benjamin Cushman.

Our original charter still hangs in our lodge room today and is a unique piece of history in it’s own right. The original dispensation forming Wayne Lodge was granted March 22, 1823, to Col. The Charter is dated October 10, 1823, and on November 17, 1823, General John Tipton who earned his rank serving in the Indian Wars in the Northwest Territory and went on to become a U.S. Senator for the state

of Indiana, consituted the Lodge as Wayne Lodge No. 25. Further study of our lodge history reveals many familiar names to anyone who has driven the streets of modern-day Fort Wayne. Streets like Ewing, Hanna, and many more are named after members and past masters of our Lodge. Wayne Lodge would go on to become the mother lodge for most of the Masonic Bodies which exist in Allen County – its reach even extending to Logansport where most of its first officers were members of Wayne Lodge, and the Lodge itself is named Tipton Lodge after General John Tipton. Thousands of men have passed through our doors and we are proud to call each of them, brother.
