Anaheim Masonic Lodge No. 207

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 141 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, Lodge members volunteer 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 many outdoor activities that benefit the community as well as the Masonic Homes of Covina and Union City. Every September we host an outstanding Constitution Observance program for our community to raise awareness of the concepts that are included in the Constitution of the United States.

Anaheim Lodge is also the sponsoring body for Walt Disney Chapter, Order of DeMolay. DeMolay International 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 our local 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 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.
