NEENAH, Wis. — A piece of Neenah’s past is seeing the light of day for the first time in a century.
The Neenah Historical Society, alongside the Twin Cities Lodge #61 Free and Accepted Masons, recently opened a 100-year-old time capsule hidden inside the cornerstone of the Lodge’s historic building.
We spoke with Matthew Bongers with the Freemasons and Erica Suchyta, executive director of the Neenah Historical Society, to learn about the historic moment.
Earlier this week, members carefully removed the cornerstone and revealed what was tucked away in 1924, including the proceedings from the Grand Lodge that year, preserved for future generations to discover.
The official reveal took place October 25th, during a special rededication ceremony.
Founded more than 100 years ago, Twin Cities Lodge #61 is part of the world’s oldest and largest fraternity — the Free and Accepted Masons — a brotherhood rooted in service, fellowship, and self-improvement.
The Neenah chapter has been dedicated to supporting community causes, fostering leadership, and preserving local traditions across generations.
