St. John's 200th Anniversary

I attended the 200th Anniversary of St. John's Lodge this morning and folks were still talking about the Irish Night yesterday. I was glad that Antioch could be represented at this significant part of history as St. John's is the first Lodge in the Second District to ever receive a charter as a Masonic Lodge from Ohio. This morning also made me stop and think...there were probably members of St. John's Lodge who fought in the Revolutionary War and it was in existence around 87 year before Antioch. And Antioch has been around for ever or at least that is what Ben Hardin told me and since he was a Charter member he should know!
