6
Warren Lodge No. 10 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons erected the first Masonic temple in southern Oregon on this site in 1859. Jackson County used the first floor as a courthouse and purchased the building in 1867. In 1883, the county replaced it with the present two-story brick building that now houses the museum. Warren Lodge held its meetings in the Odd Fellows' temple from 1867 until 1875, when the present Masonic temple at the corner of California and Oregon streets was completed. Chartered on June 15, 1855, in Jacksonville, Oregon, Warren Lodge 10 A.F. and A.M. was the first Oregon lodge chartered south of Salem and marked 150 years of freemasonry in southern Oregon on May 28, 2005.
