From Benton City to LytleA lodge at the heart
A lodge at the heart
of its community.
In 1872, eleven Master Masons gathered in Benton City to form a lodge devoted to fellowship, moral improvement, and service.
The Grand Lodge of Texas granted Atascosa Lodge No. 379 its charter on June 9, 1873. Three years later, the brethren built a stone hall that served as both their meeting place and a public school.
On May 20, 1909, the lodge moved to Lytle. Today, that same commitment to education, friendship, and civic life continues from our home on Somerset Road.
