CONSOLIDATION, JUNE 1988
From TROWEL, Fall 1988, Page 24:
Waltham Triad Lodge Meets in Newtonville
The official merger of Isaac Parker Lodge of Belmont, Monitor Lodge of Waltham that had been meeting in Belmont, and Waltham Lodge that had been meeting in Watertown, was consummated June 10 in the Newtonville Masonic Temple. Grand Master Albert T. Ames and Grand Lodge's officers officiated. The Grand Master then installed the new officers of the new Waltham Triad Lodge.
Grand Lodge approved the merger at the September 1987 quarterly communication. Monitor Lodge dates back to 1820, Isaac Parker to 1867, and Waltham Lodge to 1928. The new Lodge will be in the Brighton Fifth District.
CONSOLIDATION, JUNE 2003
From TROWEL, Summer 2003, Page 30:
Grand Master Merges Waltham Triad and Victory Lodges
The merger of Victory Lodge and Waltham Triad Lodge took place on Monday, June 2 in Newtonville. The Charter of Victory Lodge was turned in, and the combined Lodge will continue as Waltham Triad Lodge, which has a precedence of 1820.

200th ANNIVERSARY, 2020
By virtue of operating under the original charter of Monitor Lodge, Waltham Triad Lodge enjoys a precedence date of December 13, 1820. Monitor was the oldest of the four previous lodges that are now merged into Waltham Triad.
The lodge started planning several years ahead for a bicentenary celebration. Looking towards an anniversary date of December 13, 2020, a year-long celebration kicked off on January 18, 2020 with a gala celebration and dinner at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library in Lexington.
Then, Covid happened.
What was to be a selection of special activities during the year, culminating in a rededication on December 12, 2020 (December 13, 2020 was a Sunday), ended up stretching out until November 12, 2021 when the lodge rededication finally did occur.

While the calendar of anniversary activities was thrown askew, most of what the lodge wanted to do did occur, insofar as it could within the pandemic restrictions visited upon us by our health officials. The nearly two years of activities, and a recap of the 200 years of lodge history, were documented in an anniversary book which can be seen here.
