The Brethren of Wingate Lodge
#161 Free and Accepted Masons want to welcome you to
our website. We hope that you will find our site
informative for both the Mason and the non-Mason
alike. Throughout the years since our inception in
1847, Wingate Lodge has withstood the test of time,
and has always reached out to the community in many
ways.
We also enjoyed first meeting, and then accepting
into our Fraternity, men of good moral character who want to have a sense of belonging
and can come and unite with those of us who share
the same values, and together we are constantly
striving to making good men into better men.
Our Lodge
is located at 7305 Shelbyville Road (on US Highway
60 West), in the little town of Simpsonville, Shelby County, Kentucky. Our regularly scheduled
Stated Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of every
month. We open at 6:30pm for the Social Hour, and
the Lodge comes to order for business at 7:30pm,
with any scheduled Degree work to follow thereafter.
