Hayden Lodge A.F. & A.M.

Hayden Lodge originated in Brookfield in 1853, and received its charter from the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts in 1863. The lodge was named after District Deputy Grand Master Otis Hayden, who was from Brookfield and Sudbury, MA.

There is a great amount of history and tradition in Hayden Lodge. In 2003, Hayden Lodge merged with Spencer Lodge in Spencer and Meridian Sun Lodge in North Brookfield. We currently meet in the North Brookfield building. The Lodge voted to use the Hayden Lodge name being that it was the oldest of the three Lodges. Joining these three lodges has created a strong unit by bringing together many great men with different backgrounds, religions, educations and talents. Members from all three lodges are still active, and we are proud to say we are growing with new members.

We are a very active Lodge believing strongly in Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth, which are the "tenets of our profession". And by serving others we remain faithful to the obligations we have taken as Masons.

We are proud of our members, our fraternity, and our communities. Hayden Lodge participates in many local fundraisers such as Hearts for Heat, Cruising for Charity, the Brookfield Community Club, local Cub Scout and Boy Scout troops, as well as individual citizens and families who are in need. We also work with the American Red Cross promoting two blood drives per year. We hold several Masonic Youth Child ID Programs (MYCHIP) events throughout the year, and have also joined in supporting The Caitlin Raymond International Registry in their search for bone marrow donors.

If you think Masonry and Hayden lodge is what you are looking for, come on down and visit, and learn more about our rewarding fraternity. We are always interested in talking to good men who are looking to improve themselves through fellowship with their Brothers and service and charity to their community.
