Mount Tom Lodge was established in 1850 on the exact same date the city of Holyoke was incorporated as a town. Because so many of the early organizers of Holyoke -- including many of the industrialists -- were members of Mount Tom Lodge, there are strong connections between Lodge history and town history.
