Welcome to Urania Lodge #311:
In the year 1858, several Master Masons residing in this
area then known as Pleasant Valley, Ohio and being members
of Palestine Lodge #158, Marysville, Ohio, and seeing the
need of a Lodge, petitioned the Grand Lodge of Ohio for a
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons be instituted in this
place.
A
dispensation was granted October 21, 1858.
The word "Urania" is
Greek, meaning heavenly one, the muse of astronomy.
The Lodge worked under a
dispensation until the charter was granted by the Grand
Lodge and was presented by Most Worshipful Grand Master Horace M. Stokes on
October 30, 1859.
