Northern Light Lodge #40
"The
Lodge of Brotherly Love"
Descended from Army
Lodge #24
Northern Light Masonic lodge
located in downtown Maumee Ohio was started as Free Mason Lodge
#24 in 1813 across the Maumee river in what is now Perrysburg
Ohio at Fort Meigs. When the troops were disbanded after the war
of 1812 the lodge was discontinued. A new lodge was petitioned
by lieutenant Almon Gibbs previously of Fort Meigs for
Waynesfield, Ohio in now what is now downtown Maumee, Ohio. The
charter was received on December 21 1818. The current lodge
resides on that original location. Northern Light number 40 is
located in northwest Ohio and is in a southwest suburb of Toledo
Ohio, a proud Masonic community. Called the mother lodge of
northwest Ohio, many Masonic lodges in northwest Ohio and
southeastern Michigan began by requesting division of
jurisdiction from this early Masonic lodge before petitioning
for a dispensation to work. For a more detailed history see our
lodge history page. Northern light combined with Calumet Lodge
#612 of F & AM in 1997 and with Sanford L. Collins Lodge number #396 of F &
AM on 1995. Northern Light is also home to Royal Arch Masons,
Grotto, Eastern Stars, and Rainbow Girls.
