We are the Freemasons of Hays, KS, the stomping grounds of Bro. Buffalo Bill Cody! We stand together for the betterment of self and benefit of all mankind.

Meetings: 3rd Monday at 7:00

Our joint banquet with OES chapter #228 and official visit from MW Dave Hendricks turned into a historic evening for the Lodge. Right Worshipful Brother Mark Reeder, Deputy Grand Master, announced his intention to appoint our Master, Chris Neeley, as the Grand Senior Deacon. If elected through the line, Chris will serve as the Grand Master of Masons in Kansas in 2031. Coincidentally, Hays #195 will celebrate its 150th year as a chartered Lodge the same year.

Arris Johnson, Past Grand Master and Past Master of Hays #195 (deceased), served as the Grand Master in 1985, which is further coincidence, as Chris was born that year. MW Arris was, and forever shall be, an important part of Chris' Masonic journey; it was he, who led him up the winding stairs.

We are so grateful to have been able to have this evening, and for the support of everyone who made it possible, and that came to share this moment.

Surprisingly, I didn't hear the word illuminati one time. Overall, this was a good event, and hopefully we at least made a positive impression.

This Lodge Hall has come a long, long way since many of you last visited. It was a combination of vision, hard work, and trust that turned this building from a derelict property to a Temple worthy of the Craft. There is more work to be done, but we have faith in the process, and with Brothers like ours, our faith is well founded. Monday, we host our first banquet at the Lodge in years. We're ready for it.
