Welcome to the Grand Lodge of New HampshireFree & Accepted Masons! Vision Statement We aspire to be the preeminent fraternity of choice for men of quality who seek enlightenment, moral growth, and leadership development. Mission Statement We will strive to maintain and uphold our Landmarks and obligations, offering inspirational opportunities for personal development, education, and fellowship for the Masons of New Hampshire. For centuries, Freemasons have contributed to the communities in which they live through the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. Freemasonry has existed in New Hampshire since 1735, and many of the leading citizens of our state have been Freemasons. Being a member of the oldest and largest fraternal order in the world is a fulfilling and life-changing experience. Often described simply as “a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols”, Freemasonry can enhance and strengthen the character of the individual man by providing opportunities for fellowship, personal enlightenment, leadership, and philanthropy. Our charitable activities are many and varied: the Shriners’ Hospitals for Children, support of medical research, scholarships, programs for child identification and combating drug abuse, the Scottish Rite Learning Centers, and quiet, local charity. Freemasons are committed to helping those who are less fortunate, and in the process, we improve ourselves and hope to build a better world. nhfreemasons The Official Facebook Page of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, Free and Accepted Masons. #freemasonry From our Junior Past Grand Master David Collins: A message from our Grand Master on #IndependenceDa A message from our Grand Master on #independenceda Recently Grand Master David S.
