PORT ROYAL SCOTT LODGE NO. 591
HISTORY
A request was submitted to the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Master of the Jurisdiction of Georgia, the Honorable Benjamin A. Barksdale 33°, on a letter dated April 25, 1999 to admit the following Lodge and Chapter to the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Georgia (MWPHGLGA) and the Prince Hall Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Stars (PHGCOES).
Widow Son Lodge No. 8, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
Sweet Rose Chapter No. 124, Order of the Eastern Star
On June 9, 1999, the prayer of the Lodge and Chapter was answered in the affirmative. This event was of historic proportions as it marked the first time an entire Non-Prince Hall Affiliated Masonic Lodge and Chapter was ever healed into the MWPHGLGA and PHGCOES together.
After careful consideration and consultation, Grand Master Benjamin A. Barksdale 33° styled the said Lodge and Chapter Under Dispensation (UD) in the following manner:
Port Royal Scott Lodge, UD
Viola Hart-Felton Chapter, UD
On the 20th of June 2000, at the 131st Annual Grand Lodge Communication of the MWPHGLGA held in Macon, GA the Lodge received its Charter and numbered as Port Royal Scott Lodge No. 591.
