MEETINGS HELD IN ELKHART MASONIC LODGE
Stated on 2nd Monday
The Grand Chapter of Texas, Order of the Eastern Star was organized on May 5, 1884. As early as 1898 there was an interest in forming a chapter in Palestine but it would take another ten years before Palestine Eastern Star Chapter 395 had its first organizational meeting on Friday, October 14, 1908. Since that time until December 31, 2019, Ithe Chapter has met continuously in the various buildings of the Palestine Masonic Lodge. Effective with the January 2020 stated meeting, Palestine Chapter 395 moved their meetings and artifacts to Elkhart Masonic Lodge No. 400 in Elkhart, Texas thus closing their attachment to Palestine Lodge.
