Border Lodges

Map

Golden Rule Lodge 5, Stanstead, Quebec was originally located on the border between Quebec and Vermont, with the Canadian/US border splitting the Lodge room.  Similarly, today, the International Peace Garden Lodge of Freemasons is situated in a square and compasses shaped building near the border between Manitoba and North Dakota, located north of Dunseith, ND. The Lodge was formed in 1993 with Warrants granted by the Grand Lodges of Manitoba, North Dakota and Minnesota. The Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan became a chartering Grand Lodge in 2000.  Membership in the International Peace Garden Lodge of Freemasons is open to any Master Mason in good standing.
