The Past Masters of Hillsborough Lodge play a vital role in the direction of our Lodge and Freemasonry. A great many of our Past Masters continue to serve the Craft with the same zeal and fortitude as they did in their early Masonic careers. The Past Masters Jewel, as seen on the right, is given to a Master Mason of a particular Lodge, whereby he has served as the Worshipful Master of that Lodge. It is comprised of the sun, compasses, and the graduated arc, which is emblematical of the wisdom required to pass from the earthly to the heavenly. Below is a complete list of the Past Masters of Hillsborough Lodge No. 25 F. & A.M.
