Community Significance
More Than a Masonic Temple
For more than a century, the Wilkes-Barre Masonic Temple has stood as a landmark of fellowship, service, and community in downtown Wilkes-Barre. While it serves as the home of Freemasonry in the Wyoming Valley, the Temple has also opened its doors to countless civic, charitable, and educational events that have enriched the region for generations.
Throughout its history, the Temple has welcomed neighbors, families, veterans, community organizations, and visitors, reflecting the Masonic commitment to improving the communities we call home.
A Tradition of Community Service
Over the years, the Temple has proudly hosted:
- Charity fundraisers benefiting local organizations
- Community blood drives
- Scholarship presentations honoring local students
- Civic meetings and community organizations
- Weddings, receptions, and special celebrations
- Educational lectures and Masonic programs
- Historic building tours
- Community dinners, banquets, and fellowship events
Preserving the Past, Serving the Future
The Wilkes-Barre Masonic Temple continues to be a place where history meets service. Through charitable outreach, educational opportunities, and the preservation of one of downtown Wilkes-Barre's most recognizable historic buildings, the Brethren remain dedicated to the Masonic principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
As new generations walk through its doors, the Temple remains a symbol of integrity, friendship, and community involvement—continuing a legacy that has served the Wyoming Valley for well over a century.
"The Temple is not simply a building—it is a living testament to generations of men who have worked together to build stronger families, stronger communities, and a better future."
