HISTORY
The original location of Morning Star Lodge was at Cumberland Hill. The records of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island show that at a meeting of that body, held in Providence, January 22, 1810, a petition was presented from a number of Master Masons in Cumberland asking for a letter of Dispensation to authorize them to form and open a Masonic Lodge in said town.
The Lodge maintained a prosperous course for some twenty years, when, from a variety of causes, it lapsed into a dormant state. Meetings were held very seldom from 1833 to 1848. On December 12th of the last named year, the Lodge was reorganized and officers were elected.
Since 1848 the Lodge has been established in Woonsocket. The Lodge occupied halls with the Odd Fellows until 1856, when the halls in Pond’s Block were leased for the next two years. In 1858 the hall in the Patriot Building was leased for ten years. In 1865 the halls in Cook’s Block were leased and furnished for ten years and are still occupied by the Lodge.
Its career during the last century and a-half has been one of advance and enlargement. The meetings have been well attended, officers have been elected with great unanimity, and their labors have been performed with marked dignity and harmony. The Lodge has not only made progress in numbers and financial resources, but has come to have increasing influence in the community where it is established. It is now generally regarded as a strong organization in the community, favorable to morals, benevolence, and good citizenship; and the indications at the time of this writing (1976) are that it is entering upon a still broader course of prosperity than was ever enjoyed before.
