Mt. Juneau-Gastineaux Lodge No. 21Juneau, Alaska
WELCOME TO OUR LODGE
Rooted in Juneau. Connected by brotherhood.
Mt. Juneau-Gastineaux Lodge No. 21 continues a local Masonic tradition that began with two Lodges: Gastineaux Lodge in Douglas and Mt. Juneau Lodge across the channel.
Today, our Brethren come from different backgrounds, professions, beliefs, and generations. What brings us together is a commitment to personal growth, friendship, the practice of Masonic principles, and service to the community we call home.

Putting our values into action as neighbors and citizens.
OUR HISTORY
Two communities. One enduring Lodge.
Freemasonry has been part of the story of Juneau and Douglas through gold rushes, fires, changes in community life, and generations of Alaskans.
From Douglas to Juneau
Gastineaux Lodge No. 124 first met under dispensation on December 9, 1902, and received its Washington charter June 10, 1903. John H. Duckworth served as its first Worshipful Master.
Mt. Juneau Lodge No. 147 began under dispensation March 14, 1905, and was chartered June 10 of that year, with Thomas H. George as its first Master.
Both Lodges endured the challenges of early Southeast Alaska. The decline of Treadwell mining and the 1926 Douglas fire changed where the Brethren lived and gathered, but their Masonic work continued.
After consolidating in December 1995, the Lodge transferred to the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Alaska in 2000, becoming Mt. Juneau-Gastineaux Lodge No. 21.

Resilience through change
Gastineaux Lodge met in the Odd Fellows Hall until it burned in the 1926 Douglas fire. The Lodge subsequently met at the Douglas Eagles' Hall and, from 1950, at the Gross Theater. In 1963 the Scottish Rite Temple in Juneau became a meeting place for the Douglas Masons.
A young Worshipful Master
In January 1925, Alexander Sey became Master of Gastineaux Lodge at the age of 24, following his father Charles Sey, who had served only two years earlier.
Marking a century
On September 14–15, 2002, Mt. Juneau-Gastineaux Lodge began a yearlong celebration of 100 years of Masonry in the Juneau and Douglas communities.
