This celebration is more than a milestone—it is a reaffirmation of Landmark Lodge #40’s commitment to serving as a pillar in the Catonsville community. Attendees will have access to a wide range of resources focused on health, wellness, education, and community development, with local organizations on-site providing valuable information and services.

Honoring a Historic Community

The Winters Lane community in Catonsville holds deep historical significance as a prominent Black community established in the years following the Civil War. Built by formerly enslaved individuals and their descendants, the area became a foundation for Black homeownership, faith, education, and economic growth during a time when opportunities were limited elsewhere.

Originally chartered under the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, of F&AM, of Maryland on June 6, 1905, Landmark Lodge #40 is proud to be rooted in this legacy. The lodge building itself, originally constructed in 1896, stands as a testament to resilience, perseverance, and community strength. As one of the few remaining historic Black institutions in the area, Landmark Lodge #40 continues to carry forward a tradition of service, leadership, and brotherhood.

A Renewed Commitment to Community

Through this Charter Day Celebration & Community Resource Fair, Landmark Lodge #40 aims to re-establish and strengthen its presence as a trusted community hub—connecting residents with resources that uplift, educate, and empower for a brighter future.

Media outlets are encouraged to attend, cover the event, and help share this powerful story of history, resilience, and community revitalization. Opportunities for interviews, on-site footage, and engagement with organizers and attendees will be available.
