Welcome to Anaheim Lodge No. 207 Free & Accepted Masons of the State of California! This website is updated almost daily.
Anaheim Lodge No. 207 is the oldest Masonic lodge in Orange County. It was chartered in 1870 by a group of Masons to assist a worthy brother in distress. Over the last 138 years many brothers, their widows and orphans have been assisted by the Lodge. The Lodge has also been very active in the community.
During Christmas 2008, the Lodge members volunteered their time to the Shriners Toy Drive and collected a very large quantity of new toys for the Los Angeles Shriners Childrens Hospital. Every year Anaheim Lodge presents 'Teacher of the Year' certificates at the open house of all 9 Junior High Schools in the Anaheim Union High School District. We have participated with a Child ID Booth at the YMCA's Anaheim Achieves Student Showcase. During the beautiful Southern California summers we regularly sponsor our own Two-Ball Cane Golf Tournament, with 100% of the net profits given to support the Long Beach VA Hospital as well as the Masonic Homes of Covina and Union City. In September we host an outstanding Constitution Observance program for our community.
Anaheim Lodge is also the sponsoring body for Walt Disney Chapter, Order of DeMolay. DeMolay is a fraternal organization for young men between the ages of 12 and 21. The organization teaches event planning, moral teachings, and public speaking skills through a variety of events. Walt Disney Chapter, named after the famous Senior DeMolay, is the 5-time Southern California Jurisdiction Chapter of the Year. The chapter also excels in ritual and athletic competitions.
Anaheim Lodge is a busy, vibrant and friendly lodge. If you are a Mason, we would love to have you visit. Click on the 'Upcoming Events' link for our calendar. If you are not yet a Mason and are interested in joining, please click on the 'Contact Us' link and leave a message. We will get back to you and arrange a time to meet.
Thanks for visiting our website and we hope to see you at the Lodge. |

 Anaheim Lodge No. 207 was formed by a group of Free and Accepted Masons on February 27, 1870. These Masons met for the purpose of aiding a distressed Worthy Brother Mason who was newly arrived from Texas.
On March 12th, 1870 the same Brethren assembled and ordered that a petition for dispensation be prepared. The dispensation was granted by Grand Master Leonidas E. Pratt on May 17th, 1870. The first meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207 under dispensation was held on May 28th of that year.

 How To Become A Mason
The decision to become a Freemason is a personal one. To become a Mason under the Grand Lodge of California, you must be a man, at least 18 years of age, of good moral character, and you must believe in a Supreme Being. Men of all faiths can become Masons, as the definition of the Supreme Being is as personal as the decision to join the fraternity. |
