Deadwood Lodge No. 7 and Golden Star Lodge No.9 were consolidated into Deadwood Golden Star Lodge No. 7 at Deadwood, South Dakota. The new Lodge will operate under the By-Laws of Deadwood Lodge No. 7 until such time as a new set of ByLaws is adopted after the date of Consolidation. A Recognition Ceremony was held at their first meeting under the new name on 7 January 2020 at the Lodge in Deadwood. A New Charter of the combined Deadwood Golden Star No.7 Lodge was presented and posted. The Charters of Deadwood Lodge and Golden Star Lodge of Lead were annotated and retired. Many Masons were in attendance to be part of the historic ceremony. The ceremony was conducted by the Grand Master of Masons of South Dakota who was joined with other members of the Grand Lodge. The Deadwood lodge was formed in the era of the ‘wild west’ and the photo shows the laying of the foundation stone of the lodge in Main Street in 1892 (below left) and the image below right shows the current lodge.
