Grand Lodge of Nebraska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Nebraska is the main governing body of Freemasonry in the U.S. state of Nebraska. Having recently celebrated its sesquicentennial anniversary, it was established on September 23, 1857, when the Masters and Wardens of three lodges organized a Grand Lodge for the Nebraska Territory.[1] [2] The Grand Lodge of Nebraska is headquartered at Lincoln, Nebraska.

[edit] Prince Hall Freemasonry
On February 3, 1990, during the 133rd Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge, a resolution was passed extending fraternal recognition to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, F.&A.M. of Nebraska. That same year, the Prince Hall Grand Lodge reciprocated that recognition. During next year's Annual Communication, it was reported that members of both Grand Lodges participated in each other's degree work, and even participated in a Table Lodge together.[2]
