  GO BACK IN TIME...
  Immerse yourself in the 1850s to the land where Freemasonry came to California with the gold mining Brothers and merchants of the day...
  Natoma Lodge 64, in partnership with Hiram Lodge 25 and Oak Plains Lodge 789, is honored to deliver a Second degree at a secluded, private ranch in Placerville on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 2:00 PM.
  It will be followed by a celebratory BBQ dinner at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, just 10 minutes away in Coloma.
  This unique degree will be done in 1850s period dress with the period-accurate lodge set outside as it would have been back in the day.
  We will be privileged to have our California Grand Master, the Most Worshipful Sean Metroka, participating in the degree with other members of the Grand Lodge in attendance.
  The cost is $30 and attendance is limited to 80 brothers ~ Fellowcraft and above. Please plan to register as soon as possible to assure your spot and receive the private address to the degree.
