Honoring America's Heroes
Our thoughts and prayers
are with America's Troops today, as well as the 9-11 firefighters, police officers, and ordinary citizens who
heroically faced
such extraordinary circumstances.
We acknowledge their courage and pay them tribute. It is their bravery,
and that of all our nation's men and women in uniform, wherever dispersed, past
and present, that make us especially proud to call ourselves Americans.
May heavens richest blessings rest upon them and may God continue to bless
America!

Cross Plains Masonry now resides at 225 South Main Street!
The historic first
stated meeting was held in the new building on March 22nd, 2005.
With many members and visiting brethren in attendance, the
occasion marked the first main street meeting since 1992 after
tornados destroyed our 1926 vintage edifice. With the
interior still under construction, brethren braved dust and
temporary arrangements to open Lodge in due and ancient form.
Thanks to the work and support of our members, our old building
is sold and we are well on our way to having one of the best
little lodges in the state.
Construction Phase?
It's done!
Moving Masonry to Main Street
-
: During the stated meeting of October 3, 2002, the Lodge passed
a resolution
to construct a new lodge building at 225 South Main Street on
property purchased for the purpose. The lots are ideally
located on the east side of Main Street, between City
Hall and the telephone company. This choice location is in
the heart of the business district and adjacent to the city's
new park.
While we are now physically located on Main Street our symbolic
presence and image remains dependent on continued community
involvement.

Construction phase:
Masonry now has a strong symbolic and physical presence on Main
Street. Our prominent edifice is creating much
interest in Masonry and discussion among the citizenry. To
date: For all practical purposes, the building is
complete. About all that is left is some trim work, hand
rail painting, the kitchen floor, a brick or stone front and
terracing around the sidewalk.
Our lodge is now ideally situated due east and west between City
Hall Park and Cross Plains Veteran's Memorial.

The
Archives
page gives a brief history of the several lodge buildings built
by past members for future generations. There is again a
rough and rugged road ahead which will require our best efforts.
The
purpose of this website is to further Masonry and provide current
information to our members. We want to keep you abreast of our
projects and progress. More importantly, we wish to encourage your
participation and involvement.
When visiting this or any Masonic
Website presenting information about Freemasonry it is important to know
that only a Grand Lodge speaks authoritatively for the Fraternity and
then only within its own Grand Jurisdiction.
Our information has been carefully considered and every effort has been
made to insure that the facts are being presented as accurately as
possible.
