Past Masters Photo Gallery

Our Past Masters Photo Gallery project is now complete! All Past Master photographs were removed from the lodge, taken from their frames, and digitally scanned at a high resolution for future generations to enjoy. You may notice that some photographs appear aged or have flaws. A restoration project is underway to unveil digitally restored photographs later this year.

For your convenience, you may directly access our lodge’s photo gallery online at flickr.com. Below, you will find a direct link to our Past Masters Photo Gallery. Please feel free to comment on the photographs from the Flickr website using the comment link provided for each photograph. Share your memories of our past leaders! ENJOY!
