Thank you for visiting our Masonic Website. We are a group of men interested in the pursuit of historic knowledge, especially that of New Hampshire Masons. In some ways researching the history of masonry has become an easier task with the use of the Internet, Blogs, and of course Google! Once you begin researching a subject matter you really don’t know what direction you will end up heading, but rest assured it will be an interesting journey. At our Lodge of Research, we enjoy taking this journey and sharing our results with those who are interested! This year, I have dedicated my research to Brother Sylvester Marsh, the inventor of the Cog railway. You may review elsewhere on this site the short paper I put together on our brother. It is important for us to look back and remember our past, as if we do not, the records and archives might forever be lost to forgotten history, disinterested people, or just the ebb and flow of time and tide.
If you would like to become a member of our lodge, our doors are open to all Masonic brothers in good standing. No ritual, no initiation, just brotherly friendship. We meet about 4 times per year and our events all tend to be social or educational in nature.
You may find an application on this site, and I encourage you to join. Even those of you who might never venture to the ‘Live Free or Die’ state!
Fraternally and Masonically,
Brother Paul M. Kelley
Worshipful Master
