Membership

Running a small or family business is filled with daily challenges that test knowledge, abilities and patience. Entrepreneurs are often responsible for managing everything in front of and behind the scenes, while ensuring they’re surrounded by people they trust. The satisfaction of doing it their way and growing as businessman and Mason makes the hard work worth it for several brothers across the state.

Western Crawford Lodge No. 258 resides in Conneautville, PA, a rural farming community with a population of about 736. Located in Crawford County – about 40 miles south of Erie – the lodge has about 52 members.

Founded in 1852, the lodge is small, but mighty, said Brother Ryan Cottrell, Secretary, who along with Brother Douglas Carr, Worshipful Master, is working to grow membership back to what it was many years ago (about 100), when a lodge could survive on just dues alone.
