Hello!
Welcome to the website of the Most Worshipful
Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina. Please feel
free to browse any section of interest. You will find information of
current events, historical events, news, location of lodges,
educational materials and many other items of interest.
This April 2010 we will celebrate our 273rd Annual
Communication at Jamil Shrine Center located in Columbia. The Square
and Compass Club of the Midlands, comprised of the Eighth and Tenth
Masonic Districts, welcomes you to the our capital city and the
Greater Columbia Area. Freemasonry of South Carolina is the home of Dr.
Albert G. Mackey, the renown author of many Masonic books and
publications; Rev. Frederick Dalcho, one of the first members of The
Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and its second
Sovereign Grand Commander; and Joel R. Poinsett, for whom the
beautiful Christmas Poinsettia is named.
Please take your time and enjoy the site and
remember, “Our Focus is on Quality.”

Appeal for Relief
You've seen the destruction vividly
portrayed by TV coverage. Much of Haiti is in ruins. All
Haitians need assistance. Our Brothers in the Grand Orient
D'Hati desperately need assistance as they work with their
communities in trying to rebuild their shattered lives.
Please forward such funds as you feel appropriate to help our
devastated Brethren and their families in this stricken
jurisdiction. Please make checks payable to the Grand Lodge of
SC and put Haiti Relief on the For line. Mail to the the Grand
Lodge of SC, P.O. Box 2185, Lexington, SC 29071. |

PAST GRAND MASTERS’ PORTRAITS
If you have ever visited and
toured our Grand Lodge facilities, you have seen the many Past Grand
Master portraits on display. We have portraits from the 18th
through the 21st centuries. Regrettably, nevertheless,
there are several portraits our Grand Lodge does not have, yet a
portrait of the brother does exist elsewhere. These portraits may be
in a private collection, a museum, courthouse, statehouse or other
prominent location.
I would like to expand our
collection of portraits at the Grand Lodge building and need your
assistance. It is possible to reproduce some of the missing
portraits. If you, your lodge, separate group, district or Masonic
organization would like to take on a portion of this project, please
contact me and we will discuss what portraits are in need and what
plan of action to take. To your left, click on Past Grand Masters
and you will see a list telling you which portraits are missing. You
may know the location of one of these portraits. It may be in
someone's home or office. Through your efforts we could add to our
collection. Even if we add only one portrait, that one is important.
