About the lodge

A working lodge in a Nashua landmark.

Rising Sun Lodge No. 39 belongs to the 2nd Masonic District under the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire. We still meet in the Masonic Temple our brethren built on Main Street in 1891.

Freemasonry is the world's oldest fraternity, devoted to brotherly love, relief and truth. Our members come from every background and profession. What they share is a commitment to becoming better men and giving back to Nashua.

To be one, ask one.

Masons don't recruit, so the first step is yours. Here is what happens after you reach out. There's no obligation.

01

Reach out.

Email the Secretary and tell us a little about yourself. A member will get in touch to talk and answer your questions.

02

Meet the brothers.

Come by the lodge, meet the members informally and see whether Rising Sun is the right fit for you.

03

Petition.

When you're ready, you submit a petition. After the lodge votes, you begin the three degrees of Masonry with a brother guiding you.

Our history

Two centuries, one lodge, still rising.

From a meeting in John Hunt's Dunstable home to the Temple dedicated in 1891, a time capsule sealed by accident and a name that traveled to Rhode Island, here is how Rising Sun came to be.
