Preserving and Connecting Kansas Masonic History

The Kansas Masonic Research Wiki is a collaborative effort to document, explore, and interconnect the history of Freemasonry in Kansas. This platform serves as a repository of research, bringing together historical records, key figures, notable lodges, and significant events that have shaped Masonic history in this jurisdiction.

Freemasonry in Kansas has a rich and storied past, dating back to the early days of westward expansion. It played a vital role in shaping communities, fostering education, and promoting values of brotherhood, charity, and self-improvement. Through this wiki, we aim to preserve this history, uncover connections, and make research easily accessible for both Masons and non-Masons interested in the fraternity’s impact on Kansas.

What You’ll Find Here

This wiki is a growing collection of historical lodge records documenting the origins, charters, and evolution of Kansas lodges. It features biographies of influential Freemasons who shaped Kansas history, key events and milestones related to the Grand Lodge of Kansas and major Masonic gatherings, and research that traces the connections between lodges, members, and historical events.
