The Lodge was erected in 1958 by Champlain Lodge #68 I.O.O.F., with Dorchester Lodge #1 and Otter Creek Chapter #74, Order of Eastern Star, as lessees. Otter Creek #74 O.E.S. members became so few by 1996 that survivors joined members of sister Chapters in Bristol or Salisbury, leaving the Odd Fellows and Masons as building tenants.
In 1998 a similar decline in membership forced the Odd Fellows to close their Lodge and surrender its Charter; the Vergennes Masonic Assoc., Inc. opted to purchase the property and all building contents from the Grand Lodge of VT Odd Fellows, taking the title in August 2000. In 2004, the Director of Curriculum & Staff Development of the Northwest Supervisory School District was granted an interim use of first-floor rooms for three days each month.

Monthly meeting on the 3rd Sunday at 5:00 PM
Masonic lodges are frequently called "Blue Lodges," but not all Masons actually know why. Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia says this:
"Blue seems to have been highly esteemed since far back in antiquity as a beneficent color, denoting immortality, eternity, chastity, and fidelity, and pale blue representing prudence and probity. Exodus 28:31 states, "thou shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue," and Esther 1:6 states, "where were white green and blue hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple." The people were directed to wear a blue ribbon above the fringe of their garments, and one of the veils of the Tabernacle was blue. The same color is supposed to have been honored among the Druids. The Egyptians represented their principal god, Amun, as colored blue. Jeremiah 10:9 indicates that the Babylonians colored their idols blue as being an appropriate color for the gods. In Medieval times, Christians regarded blue as symbolic of immortality, of perfection, of hope, and of fidelity."
"It has never been discovered how or when blue became the most characteristic color of Craft Masonry, but the most probable explanation is the simple analogy to the blue dome of heaven, the clouded canopy, or star-decked firmament. In Masonry, blue indicates universal brotherhood and instructs us that those virtues should be as extensive as the blue arch of heaven itself."
