Dover Lodge resides in the 22nd Masonic District in the State of Ohio. Through the passage of time our district has seen many Lodges – some whose names no longer appear on the list of active Lodges. This can be a difficult situation for Masonic scholars and historians who are seeking information from the past.

Masonic Lodges typically merge into other Lodges when it seems that such a union would strengthen the Craft. There may be a variety of reasons that lead to this action, but ultimately such mergers are a lasting testament to the unity of our Fraternity. We preserve the past while striking boldly into the future.

Dover Lodge is pleased to share with you a historic list of Lodges chartered within our District and where they now reside.
