A Masonic lodge is the basic organizational unit of Freemasonry. Blue lodges, craft lodges or ancient craft lodges refer to the lodges that work the first three Masonic degrees – the entry points of Freemasonry.
Doylestown Lodge has been in operation since 1850
Doylestown Lodge is focused on friendship, charity, and education. Members and their families meet in and out of the lodge throughout the year. We provide support to Freemasons, their families, and the wider community through charitable contributions and manpower. We also focus on educational programs, which are provided at our monthly meetings, to continually expand our knowledge of local, regional, and global topics.
