In May 1789, The Grand Lodge of Connecticut was founded. Our first Grand Master was Pierpont Edwards, and at the founding of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, it had fourteen lodges that were all originally chartered by Grand Lodges of New York and Massachusetts.

On October 15th, 1790, Moriah was granted a charter by Grand Lodge of Connecticut, and given the number 15. We are the first to be chartered by the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, and take pride in celebrating over 225 years of welcoming brothers through our doors.
