Our Legacy
The Landmark Lodge No. 40 of Free and Accepted Masons was established on June 7th, 1904 and granted an official charter on June 7th, 1905. Affiliated with the historically significant "Prince Hall" Masonic organization, Landmark Lodge No. 40 serves as a constituent Lodge of the Most Worshipful (M.W.) Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Maryland.
The building was constructed ca. 1896 for Morning Star Baptist Church and acquired by the Lodge in 1931. Prior to having a dedicated building, the organization shared space with Western Star Lodge. There are many fraternal organizational buildings in Baltimore County still intact, but there are almost none surviving in a historic African American community that retains this level of historic integrity in terms of feeling, association and setting. The building also survives as an example from the earlier period of construction within the community.
As the only active chapter of Prince Hall Freemasons meeting in Baltimore County, Landmark Lodge No. 40 serves as a physical reminder and historic link to African American fraternal organizations in the United States and represents an important cultural aspect of African American life, both past and present.
Our Foundation
Every human being is our brother. We practice universal benevolence, treating all persons with the care, respect, and compassion they deserve as children of the Great Architect.
To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent on all, but Masons in particular. We extend charitable hands to those in need within our community and beyond.
Truth is a divine attribute and the foundation of every virtue. To be true and just in all our dealings, to live uprightly before God and man — this is the Masonic way.

Lest We Forget
