The Lodge
The "lodge" is a word used in Freemasonry to describe (1) the building where masons meet as well as (2) the chartered group of masons
themselves. Sometimes, we are also calling the lodge building the "Temple" (such as in "Joliet Masonic Temple") -- in reference to King
Solomon's Temple.
Thanks to an ancient landmark, known as the "right of visitation," any regular lodge may, thus, serve as a temporary or permanent "home of
fellowship" for any regular mason.

may want to take a look at the "Masonic Education" links in the Library. The
information there may be able to answer some of your questions.
Feel free to contact us through the Tiler if you wish to speak to one of us in person
regarding the craft and/or becoming a mason through our lodge.
