Are you curious about Freemasonry?
Have you felt a calling to be part of something greater than yourself — something rooted in tradition, brotherhood, and personal growth? If so, Cedar Lodge #430 welcomes your interest. Freemasonry is a time-honored fraternity that brings together men of integrity, faith, and purpose to build better communities and better lives. Here at Cedar Lodge, we are proud to carry on that legacy in Orrville, Ohio, fostering friendship, service, and self-improvement.
The first step in becoming a Freemason is simple — you must knock. No one will invite you or pressure you; it must begin with your desire to learn more. If you're ready to explore what it means to be a Mason or just want to have a conversation, we invite you to reach out. Ask questions, attend a public event, or schedule a visit to meet with members of the Lodge. We’d be honored to walk with you as you begin your journey.
