Many fine men have guided our lodge through the years to success. Our most notable Worshipful Master was former President James Buchanan, Worshipful Master of Lodge No. 43 in 1822-1823. This portrait of our most famous Past Master (above) hangs on the wall outside of the Lodge room.
Our Living Past Masters These are the living Past Masters of Lodge No. 43, as of the Masonic Year 2011 A.D., 6011 A.L. Due to the merger of Lodge No. 43 with the former Andrew H. Hershey Lodge No. 764, and Past Masters joining us from other Lodges there are cases where two or more Past Masters are listed that year.
