Who can I get in touch with to discuss becoming a freemason?  I live in Marietta Pa. and I am 26

Hey there,

Thanks for your interest in Freemasonry.  While this site is specific to Masonry in Massachusetts, I will suggest how you can find a lodge near you in Pennsylvania.

On the Pennsylvania Grand Lodge site, there is a link to search for a lodge.  The link is:
http://search.pagrandlodge.org/

Go there and use their lodge locator.  That should give you the information you need to find the nearest lodge.

Best of luck,

Dan Madore
Columbian Lodge, Boston

Thank you!  I do know of a lodge near me.  I have seen it while drive past from time to time, but I have no Idea what to do!  I can’t find a phone number and I read somewhere that the lodges are closed for summer time and reopen in winter time or something of the sort!  So do I just walk up and see if someone’s there or what seeing how I can’t find a phone number?!?  Thank you for your reply Dan Madore, it’s always nice to get a helping hand.

Is the lodge building you drove by in Marietta, or is it another town.  Let me know and I’ll see if I can find their contact info.  It is true that most lodges are closed from June to September, so you will probably have to wait until then to speak to someone.

I hit the directory for masonic lodge in Marietta PA. Here is what I came up with

Masonic Lodge

There are many lodges in the Lancaster PA area. Some may close down in summer, but I encourage you to telephone them anyway. You should contact the lodge secretary, and ask his advice in obtaining a petition.
