Port Huron Lodge #58, F.&A.M. was born when Brother George B. Engle was appointed Worshipful Master under the dispensation of the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the Great State of Michigan. Opening Lodge on February 20th, 1852.

The Meetings of Port Huron Lodge were, and still are, held on the first Thursday evenings of the month with regular business meetings held on or before each full moon.

The Most Worshipful Master Neil McMillian laid the cornerstone of our present temple on Thursday afternoon, April 24th, 1902.

The Lodge rooms were dedicated and consecrated on January 14th, 1903 at a joint communication of Pine Grove #11, and Port Huron #58 whereby Grand Officers conducted the ceremonies.

Two of our very worthy brethren, Past Masters William T. Mitchell (1861&1862) and James Bradley (1891 & 1892) attained the highest Chair in the Great State of Michigan Masonic Grand Lodge that of Most Worshipful Grand Master. Worshipful Brothers William T. Mitchell, served as Grand Master in 1878, and James Bradley, served as Grand Master in 1893.

It is with great sympathy and empathy that Port Huron Lodge announced the passing of Worshipful Master Herbert C. Collins Sr. during his time in the East in the Year 2000.

In 2012 under the watchful eye of WM Joe Walter, and with the help PM Russ Peters the lodge room got a new beautiful black and white checked floor for under the alter. The project was funded by members and was completed before the installation of officers in December 2012.  

Fort Gratiot lodge #374, F.&A.M. Officially became a chartered entity when the Grand Lodge of the Great State of Michigan granted the Lodge charter in Detroit on January 29th 1885. The Lodge held its inception on February 11th, 1884 where by Brothers Charles B. Nimmo was installed as the first Master in 1884 by dispensation of the Grand Lodge of Michigan.

During the life of Fort Gratiot Lodge #374 the Lodge met in a number of locations, the first meetings were held in what was known as the Edison Building (demolished) on the west side of Gratiot Avenue 300 feet north of the Blue Water Bridge.

About a year later the Lodge rooms where established on the second floor of 2321-2323 Gratiot Avenue, the in 1939 an opportunity to acquire rooms on the second floor of a commercial building, then under construction, at 1711 Pine Grove Avenue.

In 1969 though the incorporated sale of association stock of the Fort Gratiot Masonic Temple Association the lodge financed the purchase of an edifice in the North end of Port Huron. Previously owned by the Missionary Alliance Church of Port Huron located at the corner of Ward and Eleventh Street.

In 2007 Fort Gratiot Lodge #374 was merged with Port Huron Lodge #58, thenceforth became known as Port Huron #58.

The Marking of history with the merger of the two lodges took place at a time when the Fort Gratiot Lodge was 124 years old, had 99 Masters that occupied the Oriental Chair of Kin Solomon in the East. This Installation marks the 106th Master to oversee the works of this Great Lodge, and its commitment to continue working and moving forward together.

Fort Gratiot Lodge #374 was widely known for the annual parade, breakfast, and Entered Apprentice Degree on the 4th of July, in 1961 on just such an occasion Fort Gratiot Lodge initiated John Burley Swainson, then sitting Governor of the Great State of Michigan and his father John A. C. Swainson. Worshipful Grand Master Surr of the Great State of Michigan performed the lecture.
