This article examines the activities of Oriental Lodge No. 111, A.F. & A.M. (Broad Brook, Connecticut) during the Second World War (1941—1945), based on archival documents introduced into scholarly circulation for the first time. The study aims to reconstruct the institutional life of the lodge and to analyze its adaptation to wartime conditions. The source base consists primarily of lodge minutes, which provide detailed information on administrative practices, ritual activity, financial management, and social interactions within the Masonic community.
