Welcome to Wilmington Lodge No. 208 A.F.&A.M., a place where friendship, personal growth, and service to others come together. We’re glad you’ve found your way here.
Our lodge is built on timeless Masonic values — faith, hope, and charity. We show that in our attempts to better ourselves and the Wilmington community. Here, men of all backgrounds gather as equals ("on the level"), united by shared principles and a desire to make a positive impact, regardless of wealth, social status, or occupation.
We invite you to connect and/or join us as we continue the proud tradition of Freemasonry by fostering fellowship, strengthening character, and improving the world around us, one good deed at a time.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting. We hope to see you soon!
In Freemasonry, the opportunities to serve are almost endless! The Masonic path is quite literally a choose-your-own adventure, and it easily caters to the amount of time and energy you are able to put into the craft. Below are a few examples:
Community involvement - Attend Chamber of Commerce meetings on our behalf, attend scholarship presentations, assist in our Veterans/1st Responders cookout, assist in our semi-annual highway cleanup, etc.
Charity - Participate in fundraisers, donate to a multitude of Masonic and local charities
Education - Freemasonry puts a strong emphasis in the arts and sciences. There are thousands of resources by Masonic and adjacent authors. If you are passionate about a certain topic, the Lodge is more than happy to learn more of it in our meetings or events.
Ceremonies - All of our ceremonies (degree work, installation, funerals, etc.) are done by memory. If you have a knack for memorization, you can learn various parts to assist us in our work and bringing in new members.
Refreshment/Fellowship - All good Masonic events come with a lunch or dinner! If you have good cooking skills, we'll be more than happy to take part! We also have ice cream socials, participate in local parades, and sometimes just meet up for the sake of meeting up and enjoy good conversation.
