Tuckahoe Celebrates 94 years of Masonic Service!

Let’s go back in time to 1923! Tuckahoe Lodge had its beginning when twenty-nine brethren petitioned the Grand Lodge of Virginia and were granted a charter for a new lodge on February 14, 1923. The first stated communication of Tuckahoe Lodge was held on March 2nd in the Westhampton Lodge building, and that night there were 6 petitions and 5 applications read for the first time. The dues were set at a dollar a month, and the fee for conferring the degrees was set at the princely sum of $50. By the way, if our Lodge dues and fees had kept pace with inflation over the last 94 years, you would be paying $176 a year in dues and over $700 for the degree fees. Just thought you might like to know what a bargain your $100 a year Lodge membership really is…
