COLUMBIAN LODGE
Location: Boston
Chartered By: Paul Revere
Charter Date: 06/13/1796 II-84
Precedence Date: 06/13/1795

NOTES
Chartered in 1796. This was the first new lodge chartered in Boston after the merger of the two Grand Lodges; in fact, there had been two previous attempts in 1793 and 1794 to obtain a charter for a new Boston lodge that were rejected by the Grand Lodge.
Columbian Lodge is one of several lodges with an extant Revere charter.
