Brief History of Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge #754
This lodge is the only lodge of Freemasons meeting within the city limits
of Sherwood, Arkansas.

Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge, was instituted under dispensation from the
Grand Lodge of Arkansas on January 8th, 1953.

The new Lodge was soon granted a Charter, and was Constituted
Sylvan Hills Lodge, Number 754 by the Grand Lodge on December
3rd, 1953, and has met continuously since.

Meetings were held for the first five years in a classroom at what
was then Sylvan Hills School. The Masonic Lodge is now located at
10599 Highway 107, at the intersection of Bear Paw Drive.

The building which now houses the Lodge was constructed between
1955 and 1957, with the Grand Master and Grand Lodge Officers
laying the cornerstone March 30th, 1957.

The first meeting in this building was held August 22nd, 1957.
There were 41 in attendance, and two men were raised to the
Sublime Degree of Master Mason at that meeting.

Sylvan Hills Lodge is affiliated with the worldwide system of
Masonic Lodges which trace their lineage to the formation of
the United Grand Lodge of England, in 1736.

ACTIVITIES Service is a key aspect of the mission of the
Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge. The Lodge offers its members
many different ways to be of service.

Internally, members are obligated to assist other members and
their families in time of need. The most basic forms of Masonic
activity are designed to help the members improve themselves,
simply through participation.

Externally, Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge is actively involved in several
areas of community service. For many years, the Lodge has adopted
needy families within Sherwood at Thanksgiving and Christmas,
giving food and gift baskets to those who might not otherwise
have cause to celebrate these holidays.

Since 1995, the Lodge has been part of the City of Sherwood's
Adopt-A-Street program, cleaning up all of Bear Paw Drive from
Highway 107 to the area behind the High School Stadium on the
first Saturday of the month.

In 1996, the Lodge created a Scholarship Grant program that offers
scholarships to Sylvan Hills High School Seniors, and/or relatives of
Lodge members, up to 1200 bucks.

In 1996, the Lodge first donated to the North Hills Services organization,
giving the proceeds of a fund-raising banquet as a Christmas project.
Other Christmas projects in recent years have included donating to the
Angel Tree at McCain Mall.

Beginning in 2003 the Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge started providing some
Christmas gifts for the pre-school children at North Hills Child Services.
This has become an annual Christmas project of the Lodge.

In 2004, the Lodge partnered with the National Association of Women
in Construction to complete several physical improvement projects at
the North Hills campus.

The Lodge also is a contributor to the Arkansas Food Bank Network
