Oregon Masonic Lodge #151

06/06/2026

Did you know that there was more than one building that housed Oregon Lodge #151? Also, that there were two designs considered before the building that you see today?

With the exception of Today's lodge at 201 Park Street, each of the four previous locations had been leased.

The first building in 1866 was located at 134 South Main Street near what is now Maria's Pizza. In 1873, they outgrew the building.

The second building was Netherwood's Hall (not to be confused with the earlier 'Netherwood' Hall) built by Charles Netherwood a Mason and founding Brother of the lodge. This building burned in 1898.

Our lodge then leased the second floor of 119 South Main Street, just south of Doc's Supper Club. in a building built by Brother Henry H. Marvin who ran a hardware store on the first floor.

In 1952 we were running out of space at 119 South Main, and the Lodge members discussed building their own Lodge at 201 Park Street where is is today.

Included here are also some other concepts of the Park street Lodge which never came to pass, but instead evolved into the lodge we have today.

On June 15, 2026 Culver's Share day highlights the Oregon Area First Responders and contributes a percentage of the sales to them.

It is promoted by the Oregon Area First Responders’ Steering Committee, a collaborative organization comprised of the Oregon Masonic Lodge No. 151, the Oregon Order of the Eastern Star Chapter No. 49 , and the Oregon-Brooklyn Optimist Club.

The committee works with the community to organize events that honor local firefighters, EMS personnel, the Oregon Police Department and Oakhill Correctional Officers.

It raises money and procures vital gear for the Oregon Area Fire-EMS District and hosts annual community-wide appreciation days and safety events to bring local citizens and public safety personnel together.

Remember, tomorrow to join us for a pancake breakfast starting at 8am. This helps fund out charities like the Easter Egg Hunt, the First Responders Recognition event, donations like the Randy training Mannequins for the Fire department and EMS, the electric vehicle fire containment blankets for the Fire Departments, as well as the Fire Suppression tools, Scholarships, the Walk for Dyslexia, and the many other charitable acts this lodge donates to.

Also for men of good character, this is an opportunity to lean what Freemasonry is like. Come see if these fellows are like you!

Our 1st year in the Oregon Halloween celebration this year. A beautiful day with lots of great costumes and participants. The freemasons are proud to be a part of this event. We went through 250 candy bags in about 1 hour. It looks like we may need more next year.
