Many thanks are owed to all of the brethren of Denver Lodge for making us what we are to day but in particular we would like to thank our officer line, the members of our several committees and our Past Masters who serve on behalf of the lodge and who have made us what we are today.

| Denver Lodge #5 is the oldest lodge in Colorado. Every Masonic lodge in America has both a name and a number. The number represents the order that the charters were granted by the Grand Lodge in that particular jurisdiction. The story about how #5 is older than #1 is a classic example of frontier America.

| As Masonic lodges go, Denver Lodge #5 is comparitavely well off. We have a lovely building, a large and growing membership, and sufficient budget to meet our needs as well as to fund service to the community. Since 1985 we have offered scholarships to worthy students in the community regardless of their Masonic affiliations.

| In 1984 the temple building was destroyed by fire, and with it most of the archives and collections of the lodge. Since then, we've been working to rebuild our library as well as artifacts that relate to our history, our members, or freemasory in general. The collection is housed in the Scott Palmer Library on the 5th floor of the temple building. Click here to learn more about the Scott Palmer Library as well as a few articles of interest to masons and non-masons alike. | |||
