Striking Gold: Masonry in the Mother Lode Now

From the ’49ers who helped found California’s Grand Lodge to the colorful characters leading lodge revivals today, California’s Gold Country has long been a rich Masonic vein to mine. Up and down Highway 49, the “Golden Chain Highway,” lodges are tapping into their unique heritage to help chart the path forward for the fraternity. Learn about the new sound coming out of Auburn’s Eureka No. 16, a legendary Nevada County gearhead, and the curious case of a lost Masonic headstone in the latest issue of California Freemason Magazine, this month dedicated to the foothill lodges of California’s Mother Lode.

Be sure to check out the digital issue in the newly redesigned home page. Search for your favorite topics, peruse past issues, and find the latest news from the fraternity all in one convenient place.
