Our Legacy

Since 1875, Johnson City Lodge No. 486 has been a cornerstone of Masonic tradition and community service in East Tennessee.

A Journey Through Time

Our story began in 1875, when ten dedicated brothers petitioned the Grand Lodge for a dispensation to work as a Masonic Lodge. From our first meeting in the John Bowman Building at Market Street and Fountain Square, we've been at the heart of Johnson City's growth and development.

1875: Founded during Johnson City's emergence as the region's economic center

1957: Established our permanent home on Watauga Avenue

Today: Continuing our tradition of fellowship and service
