historical sketch

New Page 1       In March 1835 the first Masonic meeting was held in Texas for the purpose of establishing a lodge in Texas.   Six Masons met under an oak tree near the town of Brazoria.   They applied to the Grand Lodge of Louisiana for a dispensation to form and open a Lodge. A dispensation was issued and later a charter.  This first Texas lodge was called Holland Lodge No. 36. Two more Texas lodges were formed, also given dispensation and charter by the Grand Lodge of Louisiana.   They were:  Milam Lodge No. 40 in Nacogdoches, and McFarland Lodge No. 41 in San Augustine.   Both were formed in 1837. When the sharp crack of Haden Edward�s gavel summoned the assembled Brethren of Milam Lodge No. 40 to labor on August 16, 1837, it sounded the coming of civilization to the frontier community of Nacogdoches. The eight men who gathered in the ancient Stone Fort near the town square represented in their convention the cumulative force of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, the oldest fraternity ordained by man. Severally, they were men of prominence if of diverse origin; one had been a revolutionary leader in the unsuccessful Fredonia Rebellion, one had signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, and most were local businessmen.     The present lodge building downtown, at 129 North Fredonia, is the only permanent home Milam Lodge has ever known. Although organized in 1837, it was not until 1931 t
