ADAMS LODGE

Location: Wellfleet

Chartered By: Paul Revere (1797)

Chartered By: Charles C. Dame (1866)

Charter Date: 06/13/1797 (no page listed)

Charter Date: 12/12/1866 VII-119

Precedence Date: 12/12/1866

Current Status: Active


NOTES

The original charter was surrendered on 12/12/1821 (III-368); it was restored following a dispensation in December 1865, but the lodge's date of precedence is 1866, not 1797.

See historical notes 1895-82ff, 1940-84ff. (Note: 1895-82 appears to be an error in the card file; there is no mention of this lodge there.)
