The enduring story of a lodge that shaped a New Hampshire town. This historical address chronicles a hundred years of Freemasonry in Lebanon and nearby Hanover, blending community life, public service, and the era’s changing times. It offers a window into how a local lodge helped townspeople meet challenges with charity and fellowship.

This edition centers on Franklin Lodge, its leaders, and the people who built and sustained the organization through growth, controversy, and restoration. It ties the lodge’s fortunes to regional history, civic achievements, and the broader currents of American life in the 19th century.
