Zerne Lodge No. 615 is a constituent Lodge of the Grand Lodge of Texas, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. In the mid 1880's, the small community of Holland, located along newly laid railroad tracks and in the shadow of a steam driven cotton gin, experienced unprecidented population growth. Amid that period of community development, 22 men who were Master Masons desired their own local Masonic Lodge and, with sponsorship of Salado Lodge No. 296, petitioned for and received dispensation from the Grand Lodge of Texas in June 1885 to form "Zern" Lodge. On December 11, 1885, the Brothers of Zerne Lodge had met all Grand Lodge of Texas requirements and the new lodge was officially Chartered as Zerne Lodge No. 615.

While there are some occassions when Grand Lodge Law requires that a Master Mason Lodge be opened for certain business or reception of Grand Lodge Officers, we will normally open Lodge and conduct business at the level that will allow our Entered Apprentices and Fellowcrafts the opportunity to participate and observe Lodge proceedings.
