Freemasonry Today - The Independent Voice of Freemasonry

 

 

Acacia Lodge #94 was first chartered on November 15, 1859 under the Grand Lodge of South Carolina.  The Lodge continued to hold regular communications even during the onset of the Civil War.  During General Sherman's famous "March to the Sea" in early 1865, his army set fire to the city of Columbia, SC on February 17 and all the Lodge records to that time were subsequently destroyed. 

Ever steadfast in the member's desire to continue the fraternal order in Columbia, just 68 days following the city's destruction, Acacia Lodge #94 was reopened for regular communications on April, 27, 1865 with WM Robert McDougall presiding over the meeting held on the campus of the University of South Carolina.  Like the mythical Phoenix, from the ashes of what once was rose a stronger and more dedicated group of people who embraced the fraternal concepts embodied in Freemasonry: friendship. morality, and brotherly love. 

To this day the members of Acacia Lodge #94 continue to promote these important fraternal concepts.
