Circuit riders no longer stop at 116 South Second
Street, revivalists no longer call for the lost to come to the Sinners'
Bench and beautiful music no longer soars through the Sunday morning
air. However, though the majestic notes of the organ are seldom
heard, the building still resounds with the music of laughter and
talk when Masonic families gather for social hours. The reverence
of the Church is still felt in the quiet dignity of Masonic Meetings.
In addition to Minerva Lodge No. 98 F. & A. M.,
our Temple now houses these Masonic-affiliated organizations:
· Trinity Chapter No. 44, R. A. M., chartered in 1851
· Adoniram Council No. 131 R. & S. M., chartered in 1943
· Valley Commandery No. 80 K. T., chartered in 1945
· Miamisburg Chapter, Order of Demolay
It is a busy place. The Temple Association will occasionally hold
an open house and when they do, this building - which has been continuously
occupied for over 140 years - is well worth a visit.
