HISTORY OF PRINCE HALL MASONRY IN KENTUCKY
On August 16, 1866, under a Warrant granted by the Grand Lodge of Ohio, with Richard H. Gleaves as Grand Master, and still a member of the National Compact, the Grand Lodge of Kentucky was organized by Mr. Moriah, St. Thomas, and Meriwether Lodges. Jesse Meriwether was elected Grand Master, and Andrew Shafer, Grand Secretary. This action was taken under the National Compact. The Masons of Kentucky established State Sovereignty in 1875.The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Kentucky has prospered from its humble beginnings. We now boast of sixty nine subordinate Lodges; a one hundred unit apartment complex in Frankfort, Kentucky’ the Grand East in Louisville, Kentucky and printing equipment located therein which will make us self reliant in accomplishing our time honored goals.
