Milton's Historic Masonic Lodge Sustains Heavy Damage In Morning Fire (Updated)
Milton, CA...Ou area had a bit of it's history go up in smoke this morning. The Old Masonic Lodge sustained at least 75% damage according to TCU Command. The nearby historical marker reads... "Keystone Lodge No. 161, F. & A.M., instituted in Copperopolis Dec. 19. 1982, at the height of the copper mining boom. Moved to 1881, to Milton, the terminal of the Stockton & Copperopolis Railroad, which, because of the collapse of copper mining, never reached its intended goal. Dedicated to those who sought to perpetuate the moral teachings of Freemasonry. To them we gratefully acknowledge our debt."
