We Could Use a Little Help With Donations From Our Friends and Our Community To Replace 18 Upstairs Windows
Please Donate to the Building Fund. We’re very proud of our building, some call the Crown Jewell of the Historic District, and one of the oldest in Dripping Springs. Our Recorded Texas Historic Landmark building has been around since the late 1800’s and is in need of some tender loving care. We have replaced 12 windows downstairs but there are 18 windows upstairs in desperate need of replacement. The cost, due to compliance with historic features, is estimated to be $3,000.00 per window. We want everyone to be proud of this iconic building and hope the community will help us maintain and preserve this historic building in the Historic District of Downtown Dripping Springs. When donating online make a note in the “Write a note” box and indicate the donation is for the Building Fund and do the same when donating by check. Mail your check to Rambo Masonic Lodge #426 P.O. Box 52 Dripping Springs, TX 78620

Cornerstone Leveling Ceremony for New EMS Buildings: Thanks to all who attended and participated in this historic ceremony on July 17, 2024 at the North Hays County EMS Medic 75 location at 31331 Ranch Road 12 Dripping Springs, TX 78620
The laying of the cornerstone and the ceremony is an enduring American ritual beginning with Benjamin Franklin who, while Grand Master of Pennsylvania, established the tradition beginning with the cornerstone laying of the state house in Philadelphia. Perhaps the most famous of all was when George Washington, also a Mason, in 1793 laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Capitol Building. We hope you were able to attend this historic event honoring the collective efforts of our community, and those who have contributed to making this worthy project a reality.
