Grand Lodge of Alabama

Grand Lodge of Alabama

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Alabama (commonly called the "Grand Lodge of Alabama") is one of several Masonic Grand Lodges in the state of Alabama. It was established in Montgomery on June 11, 1821. Its first Grand Master was Thomas Wadsworth Farrar.

Previous to the Grand Lodge's formation, Masonic Lodges existed in the state under charters from the Grand Lodges of Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The creation of the Grand Lodge of Alabama provided unity and guaranteed that a common ritual was being performed during the degree work.
