Fellowship Lodge A.F. & A.M.

Fellowship Lodge was constituted in 1797 by M.W. Paul Revere, Past Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts, 1795-97. While he is most famous for his Midnight Ride, warning of the start of the Revolutionary War, he was also a renowned silver and copper smith (responsible for the copper fastenings on the hull of the "USS Constitution," famously known as "Old Ironsides"). Not only a transcendent figure in the early history of the United States, Paul Revere was also a very significant contributor to Masonry in the New World, and described his election as Grand Master as "The greatest happiness of his life."
