Rooted in Tradition.
United in Brotherhood.
Welcome to the official website of the Mid-Hudson District — representing the proud lodges and Freemasons of Greene, Ulster, Columbia, and Dutchess Counties, united by the flowing Hudson River and a shared commitment to service, honor, and personal growth.
Curious About Freemasonry?
Good Men. Great Purpose. Lifelong Brotherhood.
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and most respected fraternities — a quiet tradition built on strong values, deep friendships, and the desire to become better men.
Across the Mid-Hudson region, hundreds of Brothers gather in local lodges to support one another, improve their communities, and grow through shared experiences.
You’ve probably met a Mason and didn’t even know it. We don’t wear it on our sleeves — but we carry it in how we live.
