Sag Harbor Masonic Sanctum to Be Revealed
A mural by John Capello in the Masonic Temple in Sag Harbor depicts symbols meaningful to the fraternal organization as well as a comet that was visible in the sky in 1858, the year the hamlet’s Wamponamon Lodge was founded. Anthony Lombardo
Sag Harbor’s Wamponamon Lodge 437 is only 140 years young but was re-instituted from Hampton Lodge 111 founded in Sag Harbor mainly by whaling masters in 1804. Hampton # 111 at the time was the only civic society in Sag Harbor. In those days, as today, to be a Mason was a matter of distinction. It was a matter of distinction even to know a Mason. So it was not unusual for schools to dismiss classes and permit workers to take time off from their jobs, to tum out en masse to view a Masonic parade. Wamponamon Lodge is the proud parent of Old Town Lodge and Star of the East.
