You've found the home on the Web of Friendship Lodge No. 83, located in Centreville, Alabama, and chartered in 1847 under the authority of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Alabama. We hope through this site to tell you a little about us, about Freemasonry in Alabama and in general, and our activities as Masons.

Freemasonry itself has a long and honorable history, and Friendship Lodge upholds a part of that history here in Centreville. The town is the seat of Bibb County, Alabama, and many current and former members have been outstanding participants in the government, law enforcement and business sectors of the community. The County Courthouse itself bears a cornerstone dating to 1902, and laid in a Masonic ceremony by the Brethren of Freemasonry. We, the present Brethren of the Lodge, work today to continue that tradition of service to our area. Once again, welcome!
