Freemasons believe that through a common dedication to a Supreme Being and core principles, good men may be made better.

Carleton Lodge was established in 1904 by our first worshipful master W. B. G.N. Kidd. Many of our earliest members were leading citizens of Carp and surrounding areas, and affiliates from city Lodges. They included a doctor, a pharmacist, banker, farmers, clergymen and merchants, and many of their names still live on as members of the community and of the Lodge.
