Established 1819
Maryland, with Baltimore as a major center, became an important jurisdiction connecting northeastern and mid-Atlantic Prince Hall Masonry.
Maryland's Grand Lodge was among the early jurisdictions established as Prince Hall Masonry expanded. Baltimore became a significant Masonic center with strong lodges and active community engagement. Maryland served as an important connecting point between northern and southern Prince Hall jurisdictions.
The Grand Lodge of Maryland operates as part of the greater Prince Hall Masonic structure, maintaining connections with Grand Lodges across the United States and internationally. As a Prince Hall jurisdiction, it upholds the principles established by Prince Hall and his successors.
Like all Prince Hall Grand Lodges, this jurisdiction is committed to community service, charitable work, education, and supporting the intellectual and moral development of its members and the communities they serve.
