King Hiram’s Lodge

September 18, 2025

Tucked just off Commercial Street at 2 Masonic Place, the modest wooden building of King Hiram’s Lodge is one of Provincetown’s quiet treasures. While tourists pass by on their way to cafés, galleries, and the beach, this unassuming hall holds more than two centuries of stories. Founded in 1795, King Hiram’s Lodge is not only Provincetown’s oldest fraternal organization but also the town’s oldest continuously operating institution, linking generations of fishermen, merchants, artists, and neighbors through the rituals and fellowship of Freemasonry.
