Helena Lodge No. 3 - Welcome Page
Description
Helena Lodge No. 3 was originally chartered by the Grand Lodge of Colorado, AF & AM as Helena City Lodge No. 10 on November 7, 1865 in the frontier mining town of "Helena City", Montana Territory.
On display in our Grand Lodge Museum is a Masonic apron that belonged to Brother Zerah French who was the first Entered Apprenctice initated by our lodge, in 1865. The apron was presented to the lodge by brother French's family.
In January, 1866 Helena City Lodge No. 10 joined with Virginia City Lodge No. 43 (chartered by the Grand Lodge of Kansas) and Montana Lodge No. 9 (Grand Lodge of Colorado) both in the booming mining town of Virginia City, Montana Territory to form the Grand Lodge of Montana, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. The Lodges drew lots for their respective new lodge numbers and became Virginia City Lodge No. 1, Montana Lodge No. 2 and Helena Lodge No. 3. (In 1950 Montana Lodge No. 2 relocated to Ennis Montana.)
