About Chota Lodge:
Chartered in 1856, Chota Lodge #253 carries a name rooted in the ancient landscape of East Tennessee. From the Cherokee town of Chota to the growth of Knoxville and the development of Freemasonry across the state, the Lodge stands within a long story of place, tradition, and community.
Today, Chota Lodge continues that story as a place of fellowship, reflection, service, and Masonic Craftsmanship. Visit Asterism1813.com to learn more about Chota Lodge and roles Freemasons played in developing the Tennessee we live in today.
