Celebrating 101 Years of Community Service!

Washington and Henry Lodge No.344 assembled in 1922 and was formally chartered on February 14, 1923, and is located in "downtown" Mechanicsville, Virginia. Dinner is served at 6:00 P.M., on the second Monday of each month with a business meeting conducted at 7:00. Visiting Masons and guests are welcome.

Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest fraternal organization. By the exercise of Brotherly Love, we are taught to regard the entire human race as one family- including everyone - the high, the low, the rich, the poor - who, being created by one Almighty Parent, and inhabitants of the same planet, ought to aid, support and protect each other. On this principle, Masonry unites men of every country, sect, and opinion, and conciliates true friendship among those who might otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance. Membership is open to men who are at least 18 years old, of good moral character, and believe in the existence of deity, as well as available to men regardless of race, religion, nationality, or social standing.

If you are interested in joining, and you know a Mason, ask him for a petition; if you do not know a Mason, contact the Grand Lodge of Virginia for more information or see our membership page.

Our lodge contains a rich history of Mechanicsville masonry and is frequently open for breakfast, dinner, community events, blood drives, special presentations, and masonic work. If you have any questions, contact the lodge secretary at 344secretary@gmail.com.
