Fort Edmonton Masonic Lodge
About
Fort Edmonton Park Masonic Hall, is a replica of the original Masonic building built in 1903 at 100 Avenue and 102 Street
In 1903 Edmonton Lodge constructed a Masonic Hall located at 102 Street, and Jasper Avenue. A two story building, the ground floor was rented to a few different clients over it's lifetime. This Hall served Edmonton Masons until 1930 when the Masonic Temple on 100 Avenue between 103 and 104 Streets was opened.
In 1986 this Fort Edmonton Masonic Hall was opened as a replica of that original. In all aspects it is a functionable Lodge but also includes many artifacts on permanent display including Dr. Braithwaite’s Grand Master’s regalia, Lodge furniture, lodge member regalia and other items that was used by the original Edmonton Lodges. Operated by the Fort Edmonton Museum Society and local lodge volunteers, it is open during summer hours to display these artifacts and educate the public.
The museum is dedicated to the preservation of that history of Freemasonry in Edmonton and surrounding area. Visitors can tour the museum during the park's summer season, where volunteers from local lodges answer questions and provide insights into the history of Freemasonry. The Lodge room is also available for Lodge related meetings.
