Many Civil War soldiers were Freemasons. Appropriately, many
Civil War re-enactors are also Freemasons. Armistead-Bingham Lodge
#1862, F&AM of Wisconsin recreates a traveling military Lodge that
was prevalent throughout the Civil War. Several members of Battery
B, 4th U.S. Light Artillery are members of this Lodge.
Here is a picture of the lodge room at the Old Wade House State Historical
Site in Greenbush, WI on October 2, 1999. Photo courtesy of Bro. Trevor
