Welcome!

The Maine Lodge of Research, AF&AM is a regularly chartered lodge under the Grand Lodge of Masons in Maine. It meets quarterly on the fourth Saturday of March, June and September and the first Saturday of December. Our June meeting is the annual installation of officers.

Our meetings for the upcoming months are scheduled for:

With the exception of the June installation, our quarterly meetings are held at the Weathervane Seafood Restaurant in Brewer. There's plenty of parking and it has handicapped access. It's also VERY easy to find: From I-95, simply turn onto I-395 at Exit #182A from either north or south. (Ever go to the old Pilot's Restaurant? Head in the opposite direction! Formerly exit 45A.) You'll head over the 'new' Veterans Remembrance Bridge where you'll get a nice view crossing the Penobscot River, on through Brewer to the very end of I-395 (just 4-5 miles) where you'll bear LEFT! (Right will take you to Bar Harbor - we won't be there.) Go through the first traffic light and the restaurant is on your right. In fact, you'll see it if you happen to stop at the light! If you reach Dunkin' Donuts & the now-closed Appleby's (right) or the entrance to Wal-Mart (left), you've gone too far. If you're coming from the East along Route 1A, don't turn onto I-395 but keep going straight as if heading into Brewer, thru the first traffic light and it's on the right.

We gather between 9:00 AM and 10 AM for coffee, pastries, and fraternal discussion. Our meeting begins at 10:00 AM. We usually finish our meeting between 12PM and 1PM. A majority of the Brethren stay for lunch to enjoy more fraternal conversation and good food. If their ladies are in the area, they will sometimes join us as well.

Our June meeting is a tyled meeting with the annual installation of officers and a presentation of some kind, often by the newest Fellow of the Maine Lodge of Research. The Annual Meeting is held at a lodge selected by the incoming Master.

No reservations are necessary for any of these meetings. Just come on down.... If you're not a member, you might even decide to become one before you leave!!! (You can grab an application in Microsoft Word format here or in Adobe PDF format here and you'll be one step ahead!) For $15 a year, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal!

You don't need to be a Maine resident to join the Maine Lodge of Research: we welcome applications from any Master Mason whose Grand Lodge is in fraternal relations with the Grand Lodge of Maine. We encourage you to join us at our meetings and in our work.
