Craftsmen Lodge No. 717 has a story worth telling — charter, mergers, the Bevo Mill neighborhood, and the brethren who built this lodge. A fuller history is in the works. We intend to publish more here. We are reasonably committed to that intention. No timetable has been promised, implied, or secretly agreed to over coffee. Check back when you remember; we’ll get there.
Craftsmen Lodge No. 717 was chartered March 14, 1997. America Lodge and Good Hope Lodge formed America–Good Hope Lodge; Harmony Lodge and America–Good Hope subsequently merged into Craftsmen Lodge No. 717.
