Since 1850, Doylestown Lodge No. 245 has continued to exist because of the strong foundation established by its Past Masters. Around the lodge hall, images of those who have contributed in that capacity are ever present, reminding us of their commitment to build a fraternity in Doylestown that could withstand the test of time.
