KREMMLING. COLORADO
Stimulated by the interest expressed by the brethren of Breckenridge Lodge No. 47, several Masons residing in Grand County met in the fall of 1922 in the Bank Building in Kremmling to consider the feasibility of organizing a Masonic Lodge in Middle Park. This gathering met with such enthusiastic response that Brother Phillips of Breckenridge Lodge was commissioned by the Grand Master to institute a new Lodge to be known as Mount Wolford Lodge No. 163 at Kremmling, Colorado, with eighteen charter members and William H. Bloom, Worshipful Master.
The first regular communication was held May 21, 1925 in the Bank Building and a committee was appointed to install electric lights and put the hay loft over Pat Martin’s Livery Stable in good order, presumably for the Lodge Hall.
At the 6th Special Communication on May 21, 1927, the authority was given to purchase the Alpert Building which is the present home of the Lodge.
From 1925 to 1953, the membership increased from 18 to 132.
The record of the Grand Lodge as of November 30, 1960 gives the membership of Mount Wolford Lodge No. 163 as 149.
