Michigan Masons
Growing as Individuals
Freemasonry’s mission is: “We Enhance Lives”. The oldest and largest goodwill fraternity globally, Masonry teaches that each man has a duty to make life better, not just for himself, but for everyone. Whether that means helping to clean up the environment, volunteering on civic projects, or helping a child learn how to read – Masons make a difference every day.
Most importantly as a member, Masons are presented with the opportunity to grow as individuals, are provided with the tools to make a difference, and are challenged to leave the world a better place.
Our Location
Cedar Lodge # 60, located in historic downtown Clarkston, Michigan, celebrated it’s 170th year in 2024. The Lodge was Chartered January 13th, 1854 and included many important people in the community as members. They originally met upstairs at Brother N.D. Smith’s general store located at the corner of Main and Washington. Henry Ford used to sit in our lodge. The current temple was purchased in 1916 and it is also located at the corner of Main and Washington. The temple had a fire in September of 1924 and it was quite extensive. Both the Masons and the Stars held their meetings at Grange Hall while the Temple was rebuilt which wasn’t completed until 1925. The Masons and Stars were very involved in their community and the temple and many brothers are featured in the Clarkston historical society museum.
