In February 1858, eleven Freemasons petitioned the Grand Lodge of LA to form a Masonic Lodge in Springfield. Shortly after, they moved to Ponchatoula for approximately 30 years. The Grand Lodge was officially consecrated on February 16, 1859. In 1889, the members again set their sight on Hammond. In 1904, our Lodge began building its own Temple, where we proudly meet today.

Tangipahoa’s 150th Instagram Celebration
In February 2019, the Hammond Historic District began a social media campaign to engage the people of Tangipahoa Parish in telling their stories of what makes the Parish special. The public was invited to participate by sharing photos using the hashtags #PreserveTangi150 and #Tangi150 for a chance to have their photos curated and selected for an exhibition at the Hammond Regional Arts Center. Now these photos are curated online as a virtual exhibit.
Photos submitted tell the stories of the people who shape our cities, towns, and historic neighborhoods in Tangipahoa Parish. Living amongst architectural treasures big and small is a way of life in the Parish. We live in vibrant historic communities and we are inspired by historic architecture, natural landscapes and waterways found here, and we have a unique history. Tangipahoa thrives through the preservation of historic buildings and our unique natural environment.
