Masonic Greetings,

We welcome you to the Ellettsville Masonic Lodge #245 website, www.ellettsvillemasons.org. This website offers you the opportunity to learn something of our local heritage, our present activities, and our future plans. We urge you to take a few moments and browse through this website. Enjoy, and please take the time to record your visit and make comments by pressing our "Guestbook" button.

We are proud of our lodge. Our current membership numbers approximately 300. However, as with all Masonic lodges, we are always searching for more good men to make better. The Ellettsville Masonic Lodge is humbled to be the home lodge of two Past Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge of Indiana.

We are excited that our lodge's 150-year-anniversary is approaching in 2009. Ellettsville Masonic Lodge received dispensation to open a lodge in 1857 and received it's Charter in 1859. We also anticipate conducting a mortgage burning ceremony as we retire the debt of our newly remodeled lodge in calendar year 2008.

For those website visitors who are not Masons but wish to learn more about this fraternity, contact any of our Lodge members or any of the 2008 officers, the names of whom can be found by pressing this website's "Officers" button. Petitions for membership to the Ellettsville Masonic Lodge may also be obtained from the same aforementioned contact sources.

Our doors are open for Masonic brethren near and far. We cordially invite all Masons of regular standing in a chartered lodge to attend our stated and called meetings. Visit this website's "Trestle Board" often, as it will be an information source for this lodge's ongoing activities.

Fraternally Yours,

Phil Cornwell, Worshipful Master
