In 1945 the members of a Masonic Club were granted a dispensation to form a Lodge, this is our story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A charter granted in 1946 designated us as Richland Lodge No. 283. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On September 4th, 1950 the first stated meeting was held in our current location at 412 Thayer Drive in Richland Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Masons we support charitable activities that include hospitals, youth scholarships, and relief for the less fortunate. Freemasonry also includes organizations for ladies, couples, and youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richland Lodge seeks good men with a desire to become better men, interested in giving back to their community, in an ongoing journey of personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Masons our mission includes being a relevant and well respected Fraternity, committed to attracting and retaining men of high quality who strive for self-improvement, and opportunities to make a positive difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
