Grand Rapids #34
Grand Rapids Lodge No. 34 is formed from the long history of three Lodges. The first Lodge came to see the light in the Village of Grand Rapids in 1849 as Grand River Lodge No. 34, the first Masonic Lodge in Grand Rapids, chartered in 1850, merged with Valley City Lodge No. 86, the second Masonic Lodge in Grand Rapids, at this merger in 2018, the Lodge Numbered 34 had been in operation for 168 years and continues the fine traditions laid down from the past; and builds upon these combined lodges to form lasting brotherly fellowships that work together in mastering the craft, and to provide aid and support to fellow Masons, charity work and assistance to the community and combining the leadership of both Lodges into Grand Rapids Lodge No. 34. In 2018, York Lodge No. 410 became the 3rd lodge to become part of Grand Rapids Lodge No. 34.
Grand Rapids No. 34 continues to grow in members, Masonic services, and excellence of ritual, leadership and charity. Grand Rapids Lodge No. 34 has collectively produced more Grand Masters than any single Lodge in the State of Michigan. It is an exciting time to be a Mason and especially a member of Grand Rapids Lodge N0. 34. If you have not been to Lodge lately, come on down. We meet the second Wednesday of each month for our Regular Communications except in July and August. If you are curious Freemasonry, join us for dinner at 6:30pm on the second Wednesday of the month.
