The Wisconsin Freemasonry Leadership Team was blessed and fortunate to be invited to re-dedicate Dousman Masonic Lodge’s beautiful 100 year-old building on August 10th.
The Lodge was chartered June 13, 1917 and for the first eight years, met in a multilevel structure across the street while the building was being built. The original members included many successful area businessmen and farmers – including Brother Dousman, the area’s namesake, himself.
The Lodge has implemented a series of plans – a 1 year plan, a 3 year plan, and a 5 year plan – to ensure the Lodge building is well-maintained. The recent work done looked very impressive!
