This is a page dedicated to all fellow Freemasons and specifically the Master Masons of Mt. Moriah #18, F&AM. Located in Murfreesboro, TN, we are one of the busiest lodges in the state of TN. With over 450 members, we are one of the largest in the state as well.
We strive to take good men and make them better. We believe in a supreme being among whom all are accountable. To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent on all men, but particularly on Freemasons, who are linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection. To soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries, and to restore peace to their troubled minds, is the great aim we have in view. On this basis we form our friendships and establish our connections.
Mt. Moriah Lodge #18 officially opened its doors to Murfreesboro on May 26, 1817, making it the oldest society in the town.
The Freemasons are the world’s oldest and largest fraternal society, which dates back to the late 16th century or early 17th century.
Capt. William Lytle, Joshua Haskell, James McDowell, Jonas Bell and John Fisher were founding members of Murfreesboro’s oldest lodge.
In 1856, the Murfreesboro Lodge burned and the Mt. Moriah Lodge merged with Murfreesboro Lodge No. 205.
