Welcome to the new Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Oklahoma Official Website! We hope that your time here will be one of enlightenment and
information, and that you will visit us often.
Freemasonry is the world’s largest and oldest fraternity. We are open to good men age 18 and older who desire to become better men, and feel that they want to leave the world in better shape than when they came into it.
Oklahoma is a great state with a solid and rich Masonic Tradition. A vast number of the men from all stations of life who nurtured and developed this state were members of the Fraternity. Many of them might well be relatives.
My grandfather John, like thousands of others, made the Land Run to the Cherokee Strip with solid morals and values. If he said he would do something, you could be sure that he would do it. He passed those values to my dad Charlie, and to his family. Somehow, through the years, many in our Nation have lost the ideals that a handshake is binding, and that a man’s word is what makes him the man he is. These ideals have never been lost in the Fraternity of Freemasonry. It is no wonder that young men today are seeking the values of their forefathers, and wish their life to be more than merely the accumulation of possessions. They wish to belong to a group of men who are always glad to see them, and are accepting, no matter where in the world they may be.
If these ideals appeal to you, please contact our Grand Secretary at 405-282-3212, who will get you in contact with someone in your area who can answer your questions, or click on the button below.
Sincerely and Fraternally,

Charles R. Belknap
Grand Master
