Prairie Lea Lodge is an old Lodge with a new beginning. The Lodge has moved its meeting place several times in the past. Each move has helped strengthened the Lodge and the Lodge’s last move to New Braunfels is no exception.

Prairie Lea Lodge is a part of Masonic District 35B, operating under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Texas, A.F. & A.M. The Lodge was chartered in 1852.

Throughout the years, the Lodge has been located in Prairie Lea, Fentress, and Luling Texas. All are communities in Caldwell County. Originally the Lodge met in Prairie Lea. In the early 1900’s a fire destroyed the original building. There were no vacant buildings in Prairie Lea at this time, and the location was changed to Fentress. The Lodge was located in Fentress until 2013.

In 2013, with membership decreasing and the building needing repair, the members voted to move their Charter to Hardeman Lodge in Luling.

in August 2016, while meeting at Hardeman Lodge in Luling, we began a trial period on meeting as a daylight Lodge. Our purpose was to see if there was a need for a Lodge to serve those who worked at night or who did not drive at night. In May 2017 we voted to become a permanent daylight Lodge. We also voted to move the location of the Lodge to New Braunfels Texas.

Beginning in July 2018, we will begin meeting at New Braunfels Masonic Lodge. We meet in the second Monday of the month, with a meal at Noon and open the Lodge at 1 P.M. This move will offer a more centralized location to the members of Masonic District 35B.
