170th Anniversary: On Tuesday, September 11th, 1855, seven Freemasons applied for dispensation to Minnesota's Grand Master for permission to form a Masonic Lodge in the yet un-chartered city of Red Wing in the yet-to-be State of Minnesota.  More than 62,000 days later we're still here, and looking forward to a season of celebrating culminating with the anniversary of our Charter on January 9th, 2026.


​​​October Stated Communication: We're back in action for the fall and looking forward to an evening of great food and fraternity.  Don't miss out!


Masonic Civility Project: Rediscover the power of respect, empathy, and connection. Rooted in Masonic core values, this initiative invites the next generation to reclaim civility through real conversations, timeless etiquette, and building community. Held in late August for and at Red Wing High School, check mnmasoniccharities.org/civilityproject for more information.


SALSALICIOUS: Oh, what a night it was!  Thanks to all our non-profit partners, our sponsors, our judges & volunteers, the staff of the St. James Hotel, and certainly the hundreds of attendees.  The evening netted $98,000 for local charities, pushing the event's thirteen-year total to $522,653.  Well done all, and here's to Salsalicious 2026!
