The Highland Masonic Lodge will hold an open house during the Festival of Bells on Saturday, July 2 from 1-3 p.m. at the lodge, located at 136 North High Street in Hillsboro. 

This event will provide the community to see the inside of this beautiful building that was built in the late 1800s and to find out about Freemasonry and its activities within the Hillsboro community.  

The Highland Lodge was chartered in 1817 and is among the oldest lodges within the state of Ohio, and currently has a membership of more than 300 members.

• In addition, an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast will be held during the Festival of Bells on Saturday, July 2 from 7-10 a.m. at the Highland Masonic Lodge located at 136 North High Street in Hillsboro, for a donation of $6 per adult and $3 per child under 12.

Proceeds of the event will be used within the Hillsboro community. Last year’s proceeds were given to the Veterans Memorial project at the Highland County Courthouse.  

Freemasonry is the oldest, largest and most widely recognized fraternal organization in the world. Today, there are more than 2 million Freemasons in North America alone. Charity is an important tenet of the Masonic fraternity.

The 106,000 Masons in Ohio provide approximately $15 million in charitable giving annually.  During the past year they gave $50,000 in college scholarships, contributed a record $200,000 to Special Olympics Ohio Summer Games, and funded $70,000 in free training for hundreds of Ohio school teachers to recognize students at non-academic risk. 

They also provided $12 million in elderly care, and helped many needy Ohio families and individuals through their Charitable Foundation.
