  • Freemasonry in Highland County: The storm after the Centennial

    Wednesday, May 8, 2019 12:53 PM
    Ladies and gentlemen, in our last confabulation, the topic of conversation was of the Centennial Celebration of Highland Lodge No. 38 of Free and Accepted Masons, which was held Thursday and Friday, Oct. 4-5, 1917, not long after the Temple at the corner of North High Street and Beech Street in uptown Hillsboro had undergone a $30,000 makeover – which would equate to about $700,000 today.

  • Freemasonry in Highland County: Celebrating the Centennial in 1917

    The renovation was completed just in time for the Highland Lodge to hold its Centennial celebration on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 4-5, 1917. Speaking of celebrations, let’s mention one final time that there will be a 200th Reconsecration Ceremony on Saturday, May 4 from 9 a.m. until noon at the Temple. Any Mason who would like to attend the 200th Reconsecration Ceremony by the Grand Lodge of Ohio is welcome to attend. Now, let’s get back to 1917’s Centennial.

  • Freemasonry in Highland County: Renovating the Lodge

    Wednesday, April 24, 2019 1:08 PM
    Ladies and gentlemen, in our last confabulation, we spoke of how the Freemasons of Highland Lodge No. 38 erected a Temple in the 1870s that still stands at the corner of North High Street and Beech Street in uptown Hillsboro. However, the venerable edifice doesn’t look quite the same as it did back when it was first built.

  • Freemasonry: Surviving the Anti-Masons

    Thursday, April 4, 2019 12:31 PM
    Ladies and gentlemen, in our confabulation last week, we spoke of the first meeting of Highland Lodge No. 38 of Free and Accepted Masons in 1817 and left off with how the Lodge nearly folded due to the great Anti-Masonic agitation that rose up in America less than a decade after the Lodge received its charter 200 years ago.

    Ladies and gentlemen, as we mentioned earlier, the first meeting of Highland Lodge No. 38 of Free and Accepted Masons was held in Hillsboro in March of 1817 – March 3 of that year, to be exact.

  • Celebrating 200 years of Freemasonry in Highland County

    The first meeting of Highland Lodge No. 38 was held in Hillsboro on March 3, 1817. Yes, that was more than 200 years ago – the lodge received its dispensation in the 1817, but didn’t receive its charter until 1819, so it was decided at the state level that this year, 2019, would be the year the lodge would celebrate its bicentennial with a Reconsecration Ceremony by the Grand Lodge of Ohio.

  • C.S. Bell Co. bells still being produced, just not in Hillsboro

    Wednesday, March 6, 2019 1:17 PM
    Ladies and gentlemen, as we put a proverbial bow on this series of confabulations, it should be mentioned that while the C.S. Bell Co. is no longer in Hillsboro – or in the bell- making business for that matter – C.S. Bell Co. bells are still being produced to this very day.

  • One C.S. Bell (bell) would sooner ring in Oklahoma

    Ladies and gentlemen, since we began this series of offerings on Hillsboro businessman Charles Singleton Bell (1829-1905) and the company he founded back in the 1800s, C.S. Bell Co. bells have been featured in news articles in places as far away as India.
