Early Goldfields FreemasonryPrint Page 
The monument commemorates Freemasonary in the Goldfields.
There were two Freemasons lodges established at Broad Arrow. Lodge Golden Arrow No. 895 belonging to the Scottish Constitution was the first, being Consecrated in November 1899. By the 1920s the economic deposits of gold had begun to run out and the town was being abandoned.
The Scottish Grand Lodge records indicate the lodge was declared Dormant in 1927. An application to reopen the Lodge was refused by the Grand Secretary in 1947.
There was another lodge at Broad Arrow called the Paddington Lodge No. 47 of the Western Australian Constitution which existed from its Consecration in 1900 until closure in 1913. It was named for the Paddington township and mine which is about five kms south of Broad Arrow.
