Star Lodge #62

Rockford’s Star Lodge #62 has been a part of the community since 1867, 14 years before the City was founded! Star Lodge takes great pride in being part of this community and being able to contribute through volunteering and charitable giving. Our Hog Roast fundraiser has been an annual event in the community for 43 years. The Lodge is located downtown above the Brothers Eatery and have been there since 1867. In 2027 it will be Star Lodge’s 160th anniversary!

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest fraternal organizations, dedicated to promoting moral and personal development among its members. Rooted in traditions of charity, community service, and brotherly love, it encourages members to lead ethical lives and support others. Freemasons are active in many local and national charitable efforts, often working quietly behind the scenes to improve their communities. With symbols and rituals rich in history, Freemasonry values integrity, compassion, and lifelong learning.
