On December 18, 2017, the newly elected officers of Williamsburg Lodge No. 490, Free and Accepted Masons were installed. This is the first installation held in their newly renovated lodge hall since the building was damaged in a fire three years ago.
Grand Master Tim Sanders and Deputy Grand Master Gary Rose of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky performed the installation.
Outgoing Master Larry Carte was recognized by the lodge for his leadership during the past year in completing the renovations to the lodge building.
