Cumberland Road Order No. 122

Dedicated to the “Sons of Liberty”

  

About the Order

The Order of the Sword of Bunker Hill is a historical and patriotic side Order of Masonry founded to perpetuate the principles of American Liberty, and to indelibly impress upon the minds of each generation the sacrifices made by our Masonic forefathers in forming and establishing the United States of America.

 

It should be remembered that the “Sword of Bunker Hill” is NOT a Masonic Degree, but rather an Order conferred upon a Master Mason in good standing, and should therefore always be referred to as an Order and not a Degree.

 

There are local Orders located in a number of states, from New England to Colorado.  The Order has been conferred on more than 100,000 Master Masons since it inception in 1912.  To date there have been 122 local Orders chartered, although several are now dormant.

 

There are no salaried officers, either in the Grand Order or any subordinate local Orders.

 

 

The Purpose:

 

“To promote the interest of Masonry by encouraging a more regular attendance at its meetings.  To instill into the minds of each generation the sacrifices of our Masonic forefather in forming our great republic.  To forever inspire patriotism and loyalty by administering to every candidate for our Order the oath of allegiance to state and nation.  To provide a time and place for good clean fun.  To further cement our friendship and brotherly love by providing social entertainment.  To contribute a portion of our initiation fee to a worthy Masonic charity.”
