A new chapter
Our meeting place is changing. Lodge No. 43 is not.
With the sale of the Lancaster Masonic Center, we are meeting at 30 S Linden Street in Manheim while we plan our next home. The Albert L. Einolf Museum & Library collection is packed safely in storage and will return when we are settled.
Is Freemasonry right for you?
If you are a man of good character looking for brotherhood, purpose and self-improvement, we would like to meet you.
