HISTORY

CONSECRATION AND HALL DEDICATION, JULY 1867

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXVI, No. 10, August 1867, Page 318:

At Westboro, Worcester County, this State, was duly constituted and its officers installed on Tuesday the 16th of July last, by the M.W. Grand Lodge. The hall was also dedicated. The ceremonies were private, and at the conclusion of them the Brethren sat down to an entertainment provided by the Lodge, and spent a pleasant hour in a social way.

The Lodge has been prosperous the past year, and has encouraging prospects before it. It is in good and competent hands and has the best wishes of the Grand Lodge for its future prosperity.
