John J. Mercer Lodge #290 was started in 1914 with the name Benson Lodge UD (Under Dispensation) and was finally chartered by the Grand Lodge of Nebraska the following year. We are named after Captain John Jackson Mercer (1833-1915) who was the 24th Grand Master of Masons in Nebraska. Our Lodge first met in the Odd Fellows Hall in Benson until erecting our own building in 1926 and have lived here on 59th and Maple ever since. To learn more about Masonry, or find out how you can join our fraternity, talk to a Mason you know, or visit the Contact Us section to figure out how to get in touch with a Mason from our Lodge.
Does anyone here want to play in a fantasy baseball league. If so, PM me and I can send you the link to join. It is a for fun league, but we do ask that if you join you at least keep an eye on your team! 🙂 Charlie
Just found this oldie and goodie on a long forgotten thumb drive! It is astonishing how many of the terrific Brethren in this Trestleboard have been called home. Charlie
Mercer hosted the first Masters & Wardens Club meeting for 2021. We served buttermilk pancakes, eggs and sausages (by WBro. Ben Zaayer and his son Ethan). Fantastic turnout and engagement: 30+ brothers; Most Worshipful Jim Carlton even paid a visit!
A big congratulations to our newest Brother. And, a sincere thank you to the visiting brethren from three lodges and two cities!
Members of Mercer's TBOM Crew visited Mizpah Lodge No. 302 in support of raising a new Brother! Congratulations to him and the officers of Mizpah Lodge No. 302. A fine showing of degree work, fellowship and reverence.
