Welcome to Acacia Lodge No. 586!

Constituted by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania on May 22, 1891, our Waynesboro Lodge stands as a gathering place for over 200 members.
Freemasonry is a fraternity rooted in Brotherly Love, Charity, and Truth. It is our calling to shape men of character, inspiring them to lead lives guided by integrity and service—both to their brethren and to the community we cherish.
Together, we aim to foster a spirit of unity and kindness, making Waynesboro a welcome home to live and a thrive.

We meet the 3rd Friday of each month at 33 West Main St, Waynesboro, PA 17268 in the Masonic Building.
