Saggahew Lodge

Near the end of the Civil War, there was a great surge in the number of men who desired to become Freemasons. In early 1865, Merrimack Lodge of Haverhill petitioned the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts to form a second lodge in the city, and later that year Saggahew Lodge was formed.

At 158 years old, Saggahew Lodge is hardly an “old” lodge. We have a rich history but are focused on the future. Our youthful and energetic group of officers and members are committed to the tenets of Freemasonry and dedicated to bettering themselves and the communities in which they live.  

Our meetings are held the third Monday of each month and are usually filled with the usual business of our lodge, good food and fellowship. We often enjoy a few good social occasions, some that are for Masons only, but many others that include our families as well, such as Ladies Night, the children’s holiday party, as well as the annual Master’s Family Cookout.  Saggahew members participate in several community events around Haverhill and the Merrimack Valley.

Most importantly, we have many charity programs in which we partake such as Red Cross blood drives, supporting homeless veterans, food drives and scholarship programs, just to name a few. Contact us using the form below or call us at 978-361-0458.

Worshipful Christian J. Currier is Master of Saggahew Lodge. His Masonic journey started very early.  His Grandfather was a 54-year Mason in Saggahew. Wor. Brother Currier practically grew up in the building, attending Saggahew installations, as well as Order of Eastern Star installations, from a very young age.  Without any hesitation, he joined John Greenleaf Whittier Chapter, Order of DeMolay, as soon as he was old enough.  In DeMolay, he worked his way through the chairs, eventually serving as Master Councilor.  After taking a break from the Masonic world, the mysteries of Freemasonry drew him back. He was Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason in May of 2019, along with 4 other candidates, by candlelight; which certainly was not the Lodge’s original intent.  Haverhill had a storm that evening which knocked out power to the building.  That following September he found himself sitting in the South, sitting to the left of the Junior Warden.  In what Bro. Currier says seems like the blink of an eye, he is residing in the East of the lodge, now as Worshipful Master.  While this is a personal accomplishment he had sought out many years ago, he is thankful for all the light he has received through the work of his Brethren.
