The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Virginia, commonly known as “Grand Lodge of Virginia”, claims to be the oldest independent masonic grand lodge in the United States with 34,000 members in over 300 lodges. Both the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania and the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts dispute this claim, each claiming to be the oldest Grand Lodge in the United States. The Grand Lodge of Virginia was constituted on 30 October 1778, with headquarters in Williamsburg, Virginia. The grand lodge relocated its offices to Richmond, Virginia, in 1784, where it remains to this day.
