The Lodge, established on December 27, 1835, is one of the oldest in Texas, with its history closely intertwined with that of the City of Waco. The early origins of Masonry in Texas began shortly after the state's admission to the Union in 1845, with Holland Lodge being the first established prior to Texas' separation from Mexico. The Lodge has maintained an unbroken record of its activities and contributions, reflecting its longstanding commitment to the community and its members throughout the years.
