History

The town was founded by Freemasons, hence its name.[1] Middle Town, the largest of the three towns, had a post office, boarding house, and a general store.[1] It also housed the offices of the town's newspaper: The Masonic Pioneer.[2]

The Lorena post office opened in 1905, changed its name to Masonic in 1906, closed in 1912, re-opened in 1913 and closed for good in 1927.[1]

Masonic's population in 1906 was about 500.[2] The principal mine, called the Pittsburg-Liberty Mine, produced $700,000 in gold before closing in 1910.[2] By 1911, Masonic was in decline, although some mines kept in production until the 1920s.[2]
