Our Rich History
Standing proudly in the heart of the town, the Boston Masonic Hall is one of Lincolnshire's true architectural hidden gems. Easily recognizable by its spectacular, Grade II* listed Egyptian Revival frontage, the building reflects a fascinating period of design and history.
Inside, this architectural marvel plays host to a deeply rooted local fraternity. Since the founding of Boston's oldest surviving lodge in 1806, local Freemasons have met here to preserve time-honored traditions while actively giving back to the local area through volunteer work and substantial charitable donations.
Based at the architecturally stunning Masonic Hall on Main Ridge West, Boston’s Freemasons combine a rich 200-year history with a forward-thinking focus on community service and fellowship. Home to a diverse, proactive membership ranging in age from their 20s to their 80s, the Boston lodges pride themselves on welcoming new members who values integrity, respect, and supporting local good causes through their charity work.
