Seward Masonic Lodge

The Seward Masonic Lodge owns one of the prominent buildings around the City Square. The Lodge leases the two first floor "store fronts" to businesses and utilizes the second floor for Lodge activities. The Seward Eastern Star Chapter also used the second story facility until a few years ago when they merged with the Milford Chapter. The building is located at the junction of Nebraska #15 and #34 where many people observe the painting and poetry on the side of the building. The poem was written by William Kloefkorn,  Nebraska poet Laurette and the painting by Reinhold Marxhausen. The building with it's attractive "eye catcher" is one of Seward's treasures. We had an excellent spaghetti & meatball supper with wives this evening prior to our Lodge meeting. It is so easy for those of us who enjoy the facility today along with the rent that comes in from the businesses, to take it for granted, and not give the necessary credit and appreciation to those that had the foresite to make it all possible
