built in 1859, this became the main building in the historic Tennessee town of Port Royal, In addition to being the Masonic lodge, this was a general store, Doctor's office and Post office.
Here is a picture of the building taken in 1899:

Today, what's left of Port Royal has been designated a state historic area, under the oversight of the Tennessee State Parks. This building today is the park's headquarters.
Is the lodge open to visit? We are a masonic family from FL but will be visiting early NOV.
ReplyDeleteIt is probably no longer used as a lodge, but to get a certain answer, you should contact the Tennessee State Parks website for Port Royal.
