Becoming a Freemason Officers Calendar Golf Tournament Pay Dues Donate More Use tab to navigate through the menu items. About Sam Davis Lodge No. 661 Our History For the past 100 years, Freemasonry has thrived in Smyrna. On September 1, 1910, John Saunders Gooch announced to a small group of Masons that he’d received a dispensation to establish a Masonic Lodge in Smyrna. Sam Davis Lodge No. 661 received a charter from the Grand Lodge of the state of Tennessee on March 11, 1911.  Brother Gooch served as the first Worshipful Master until elections were held in December, 1911.  From that humble beginning above the Peoples Bank of Smyrna, Sam Davis Lodge now occupies a 3,000 square foot building at 101 Mary Law Drive and has over 270 members. The original building still stands on present day Lowry Street.   Charter members included: Rob L. Short, Sumner Sanders Jr., Henry G. Davis, Wilson Ward, G.H.Crossthwait, R.B. Denney, W.E. Fields, J.S. Gooch, Leroy Mckennon, Wm Short, J.C. Harris, W.H.Alexander, M.E. Neely, J.C. Hibbett, and J.C. McAdoo. The original charter, damaged by the great fire of 1913, still hangs in the lodge today. Just as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and 13 signers of our Constitution were Masons, early architects of the town of Smyrna included members of Sam Davis Lodge such as John S. Gooch, Dr. W.J. Engles and Dr. J.S. Lowr
