Ohio Masonic Communities

In the early 1840s, The Grand Lodge of Ohio discussed plans to establish a home to care for aging Masons. In 1888, the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons led a successful effort to establish The Ohio Masonic Home for the benefit of worthy, distressed Ohio Master Masons and their wives, widows, and children. It is only fitting that this Foundation should actively perpetuate this mission that it brought to fruition over 100 years ago. The Grand Chapter encourages its members to remember the Ohio Masonic Communities when paying annual dues and when contemplating charities to benefit when establishing estate beneficiaries.
