The Tennessee Lodge of Research has been working to assemble a collection of TN lodge histories for future publication. We would like to have your lodge submit a historical profile of their lodge for inclusion in this project. Ideally, this will also include any information that you may have on any old lodges that may have merged with yours in the past. Once these are assembled and edited, the plan is to publish them for TNLOR members and for Tennessee Masons in general.
If you are a member of the Tennessee Lodge of Research, please login (or register for an account if you have not already done so). Once you are logged in, you can submit an article. Please classify sumissions for this project under the Section "Publications" and in the Category "Lodge Histories."

About the Tennessee Lodge of Research |
|
The Tennessee Lodge of Research was formed in 1983 and received its charter in 1985. Meetings are held quarterly on the second Saturday of each March, June, September, and December at high twelve. Meetings are held in different lodges and different geographical areas of Tennessee each quarter. Typically, the March meeting is held in West Tennessee (west of the Tennessee River), the June meeting in Middle Tennessee below Interstate 40, the September meeting in the East Tennessee area, and the December meeting in the Middle Tennessee area above Interstate 40. Normally, a meal is served prior to each meeting and a talk about a Masonic or Masonically affiliated subject is presented at each meeting. These talks are presented by both members and nonmembers and an attempt is made to keep them non-esoteric in nature so they may be printed in the proceedings and can be attended by the ladies and other nonmasons. After the talks are presented, the ladies and non-masons are asked to retire so a Master Masons Lodge may be opened in order to conduct the business meeting.
Membership is not required to attend a Tennessee Lodge of Research meeting. All Master Masons are cordially invited to attend, and encouraged to join. Membership is open to all Master Masons in good standing. The fee is $5.00 and dues are $10.00 per year. Dues are used to pay printing and postage expenses to provide each member a quarterly bulletin which contains highlights and special information after each meeting, and an annual book of proceedings which contains transcripts of all presented talks during the year and other useful and informative Masonic materials.
Master Masons interested in joining the Tennessee Lodge of Research may contact Bro. George Ladd, PM who is presently serving as Secretary of the TLR. Bro. Ladd may be written at 4521 Turkey Creek Road, Williamsport, TN 38487, telephoned at 931-682-2263, or Emailed at
