 Chain Lake Lodge in Fairmont was granted a Charter by the Grand Lodge of Minnesota on October 23rd, 1867. Having celebrated 155 years of Freemasonry in 2022, Chain Lake Lodge is proudly the second oldest organization in Fairmont...only behind the Martin County Fair. 

The word "Lodge" means both a group of Masons meeting together as well as the room or building in which they meet. Masonic buildings are sometimes called "temples" because the original meaning of the term was a "place of knowledge" and Masonry encourages the advancement of knowledge.

Masonic Lodges usually meet once or twice a month to conduct regular business, vote upon petitions for membership, and bring new Masons into the Fraternity through three ceremonies called degrees. In the Lodge room Masons share in a variety of programs. Here the bonds of friendship and fellowship are formed and strengthened.
