Welcome to Historic Phoenix Lodge No. 8
The oldest existing Masonic Lodge in Fayetteville, North Carolina
First established as "Union Lodge" in the mid-to-late 1700s, it was renamed "Phoenix Lodge" on 17 November 1788 at the request of its members. Always active and influential, our lodge was among a group of nine Masonic lodges across North Carolina which called for the formation of a new Grand Lodge in North Carolina in 1787.
Despite wars, fires, and other tribulations, Phoenix Lodge No. 8 has remained active since its founding in 1788. As such, it is one of the oldest continuously operating lodges in the state of North Carolina.
Today's members are leaders in the community who uphold Phoenix Lodge No. 8's proud history while honoring our Lodge's progressive traditions.
All good men and Brothers are welcome here, regardless of race, creed, or religion, and we hope you will visit often. If you seek true friendship, you will find it here.
