Our Lodge was originially chartered as Vitruvius #81 in 1850. Over the years, as Masonic membership in Illinois changed, our Lodge merged and folded in other Lodges which further develops our rich and diverse history.  Our current Lodge, D.C. Cregier #81 is a result of mergers among several lodges including Vitruvius #81, D.C. Cregier-Portage #643, Portage Park #1002, Deerfiled #1110, and Des Plaines #890.
