Columbia Lodge no. 58 is located in Frederick Maryland. We thank you for visiting our site. Please join us for fellowship.

Our Regular Communication is the first and third Monday of each month at 7:30 PM, with the exception of July and August. Columbia Lodge #58 charter was established by the Grand Lodge of Maryland in the year of November 7, 1815. Masons met on December 8, 1815 at the house of James Houston located on the Southeast corner of Market and Second Streets. This was the location of the Farmer’s and Mechanic’s National Bank. At the meeting on December 17, 1815 the by-laws of the lodge were adopted. At a special communication of the Grand Lodge on October 8, 1824 our illustrious citizen and brother Marie Paul Joseph Yves Gilbert Mottiers De La Fayette was made an Honorary member of the Grand Lodge of Maryland. General La Fayette was re-visiting the United States. This was forty years after the American Revolution. He returned to Baltimore several weeks later and attended elaborate banquet tendered by the lodge. Brother La Fayette was a good friend of George Washington. On Wednesday December 29, 1824 General La Fayette and his secretary Lee Vasser and son, George Washington La Fayette were received in the home of Henry Bantz on West Second Street where the Centennial Memorial United Church is now located. General La Fayette presented the apron which he wore to Brother William Bear (Mayor of Frederick) who in turn presented it to the lodge. This apron is on display in the Columbia Lodge Library and museum of the Temple. Governor Francis Thomas, who was Governor of Maryland, was a member of Columbia Lodge #58. Columbia Lodge #58 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, like all Masonic Lodges, were affected by the Anti-Masonic agitation and the brothers thought it was best to cease their meetings. On June 7, 1830 the last communication under the charter of 1815 was held.

From our friends at MasonicFinds...

There is almost nothing else like it in the world...

You travel somewhere unfamiliar.

A city you don't know, a country where you don't speak the language, a place with no contacts and no context.

And then you find the Lodge.

You knock. You're received.

And within the hour you're sitting among men who were strangers twenty minutes ago, sharing a festive board, being introduced by name, being asked where you're from and how long you're staying and whether anyone has shown you the city properly.

The handshake didn't do that...

The shared obligation did.

There are somewhere between six and eight million Freemasons in the world (but who's counting?).

They meet in Lodges on every inhabited continent, in jurisdictions with different rituals, customs, languages, and ways of working.

And yet, walk through the door as a Mason in good standing, and something is immediately recognized...

Something that doesn't require translation.

Most men spend their whole lives without access to a network like this.

Businessmen and politicians build theirs through school ties, industry associations, and careful cultivation over decades.

Theirs is transactional at the root, held together by mutual advantage.

Nothing wrong with that, but ours is held together by something far more ancient and harder to articulate.

A man raised in a Lodge in the Philippines sits in a Lodge in Scotland and is not a guest. He is a Brother.

Not metaphorically.

In a way that carries obligations on both sides of the room.

That's worth thinking about the next time Lodge feels routine.

The meeting you almost didn't attend tonight connects you to something that spans the globe and runs back centuries.

Not many institutions can say that.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! ”

Happy Sunday, Brethren!

We did a thing today. Pairing with the Valley of Frederick Scottish Rite breakfast, Columbia Lodge No. 58 AF & AM put on a Rusty Nail Degree. Four of our Brothers, who haven't attended Lodge in some time, came and got a refresher course in the signs, grips, and words. The Officers did very good work...and a good time was had by all.
