Chapter History
Philippi Chapter No. 41, Philippi will celebrate its 100th anniversary on July 28, 2009. The Masonic Lodge Hall was on the third floor of the Williams Building in down town Philippi. In 1973 Bigelow Lodge No 52 built a new hall and moved from the Main Street location to the Masonic Lodge Hall on Cherry Hill Road. What a joy it was to no longer have to climb three flights of stairs every second and fourth Monday night.
In June of 2005 Belington Chapter No. 68, Belington merged with Philippi Chapter, bringing many dedicated members to help carry on the work of the Order.
Over the years Philippi Chapter has had several members to serve as Grand Chapter Officers and Grand Representatives.
