Swartsel Lodge is located in Lutz, Florida just 10 minutes North of Tampa near the Pasco County line. At one time our members were mostly farmers and cattlemen, but as with much of Florida, the rural farmlands around our Lodge have become the suburbs. To commemorate that time when things were much simpler, we hold our Don Belcher Farmer's Degree in the Fall and put on the Degree clothed in farmer
's attire. During the nearly 100 years of our existence, J.F. Swartsel Lodge has become one of the strongest in the State, and has become a destination to sojourning Brothers from around the USA and beyond! We hope you like what you see here and will visit our Lodge when you're in the area. If you are considering becoming a Mason, drop by our Lodge on any scheduled meeting night, pick up an application, and have dinner with our Brothers. We're always glad for the fellowship, and are happy to answer any questions you may have about Freemasonry.
