Grand Lodge of Iowa

Preserving Iowa Freemasonry's Legacy

Welcome to the Grand Lodge for the State of Iowa, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. We have been proudly serving the Freemasons of Iowa since 1844. Our rich history and tradition have been at the heart of our mission to foster personal growth, self-improvement, and community service. Our dedicated members have continued to uphold the values of Freemasonry, contributing positively to society and supporting one another in their journey of enlightenment.

Discover Freemasonry

Have you ever sought something deeper—a sense of belonging, personal growth, and a way to give back to the world? Freemasonry, one of the world’s oldest and most respected fraternal organizations, offers just that.

​

At its heart, it’s a community of like-minded individuals committed to moral integrity, personal development, and helping others. Through symbolism, tradition, and ritual, it challenges its members to become better men—better friends, husbands, fathers, and citizens.

​

If you’re curious, that’s the first step. Joining the Craft means stepping into a centuries-old tradition rooted in principles that transcend race, religion, or social status. It’s a space where men from all walks of life meet as equals, work together in harmony, and support one another both inside and outside the lodge.  Whether you are seeking knowledge, fellowship, or a deeper understanding of life's mysteries, Freemasonry provides an enriching experience for all who seek truth and wisdom. We invite you to explore our website, do your research, and when ready, seek and you shall find. 

    

What does it offer? Lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities, personal reflection, and a platform for meaningful charitable work. But most importantly, it offers a path—one that helps you become the best version of yourself.​

The Grand Lodge of Iowa is the sovereign legislative, judicial, and executive power for Masonry within the State of Iowa. It is by the existence of the Grand Lodge that the subordinate lodges within Iowa derive the right to exist and function. Similarly, the Grand Lodge could not exist without its constituent lodges, and its actions are merely a reflection of their combined will at the state level.
