To the Traveling Brother

Whether you're passing through Blanco County on your way somewhere else or settling here for the season, the brethren of Johnson City Lodge No. 561 will be glad to have you among us. We are a small, working lodge — the kind where the meal is generous, the work is taken seriously, and visitors are remembered long after they've gone.

Please contact us in advance of your visit. Reaching out a week or two ahead lets the secretary make sure you're expected and that the proper arrangements are in place to receive you.

The brethren of Johnson City Lodge come from every walk of life and every kind of work — ranchers, tradesmen, teachers, truck drivers, professionals, and retirees among them. We are, with quiet pride, a country lodge: jeans and boots are the rule, not the exception.

Our reverence for the Craft is deep, but we do not believe it requires a coat and tie to demonstrate. Come dressed as a working man dresses — clean and respectful — and you will be at home among us. On occasions when the Grand Lodge of Texas, A.F. & A.M., calls for more formal attire, we dress as the Grand Lodge directs.
