From the East
Greetings From The East,
Spring has arrived. With the thawing from a wild, cold, and snowy winter, I look forward to more opportunities for the brethren to shake off the inclemency of weather and join us in the good work and brotherhood that has defined Hiram Lodge #1 since its inception. 2026 is continuing to be a busy and eventful year for the Lodge! We have representatives of Milestones Behavioral Services coming to lodge to give a presentation on their good works and to receive a donation. We have degrees, education, and always plenty of fellowship. While the “Upcoming Dates” of our Trestle Board and Web page detail the events for the second quarter of this year, there are some other dates I would like to get in front of you:
• Our annual joint cookout with Trumbull Lodge on July 16
• Pizza Table Lodge and Hawaiian Shirt Night on August 13
• Lodge Picnic at Ashlar Village on Saturday September 12
Even if you haven’t been to Lodge in a while, I hope you can make some or all these events and reacquaint yourself with the craft. Remember that you are always a brother no matter how long you’ve been away. I cordially invite you to one of our “off-nights” on the first, third, and any fifth Thursdays for conversation and pizza with the brothers. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have!
Fraternally yours,
Clinton T. Potter

Welcome to our website. Hiram Lodge No.1 is a Masonic Lodge in New Haven, Connecticut.

Freemasonry is an organization of men who are interested in self improvement, service to our community and the well being of our fellow brothers and their families. Our Lodge dates back to the time of the founding of our nation and we try to live our lives by the traditions and ideals of our fraternity. We welcome inquiries to our Lodge and Freemasonry in general.
