Organized in the Williamson County community of Bagdad, this Masonic lodge was formally chartered in 1871 and named for Norton Moses, who participated in the group's formation. A lodge building constructed in 1870 also served as a community meeting center and public school. In 1899 the Masons moved to the new railroad town of Leander, where they actively supported the public schools and other community activities. Through its leadership, the lodge has been instrumental in the development of western Williamson County.
