Wheaton Lodge History

Over the last century and a half, Wheaton Lodge has been part of quite a bit of history.
There are those who believe Wheaton Lodge was instrumental in helping the city of Wheaton become the county seat.  A number of well known men from the area have been members over the years.  Lieutenant Marcellus Jones, a Past Master of our Lodge, is reputed to have fired the first shot at the Battle of Gettysburg.  And there’s the determination of the members who kept the Lodge going even after a fire nearly destroyed the building in 1949.

As 2008 is our 150th anniversary year, please come back to this page often as it will be expanded and updated as our Historical Committee unearths additional information, new and old.
