CUMBERLAND LODGE HALL

A History of Fire and Tenacity

This building is the third home of Cumberland Lodge No. 26. Formed in 1896, their first two homes were above local businesses, the first of which, the Riggs and Whyte store, also provided two new members for the growing Lodge (Brothers Riggs and Whyte).  The second space was destroyed by fire in 1909 and the Lodge moved across the street to the location you are standing in front of today.  At that time, it was still a department store and with support from Local Freemasons, the Lodge purchased the building in 1920.  Another fire consumed the building in 1932 and with the insurance money, Cumberland No. 26 built the existing structure.  

Well over a Century of Freemasonry and Community Pride.  

Cumberland is a small but very proud town with a rich history and their Freemasons Lodge is no different.  The Lodge uses the second floor as a Masonic Temple and keeps a banquet hall on the main floor for community and private events (at quite reasonable rates). Cumberland Lodge No. 26 is always looking to meet men of good character who are interested in joining.  You can learn more about Cumberland Lodge No. 26 further down the page.
