Summary
-
This paper, presented in 2002, presents a brief history of the nation of Ghana, as well as a detailed history of how Freemasonry came to this African nation, the home of the Author. He points out that Ghana at the time is tied to the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland, and Scotland; and has not yet formed it's own Grand Lodge. Of the 107 Lodges chartered in Ghana under these three Grand Lodges, there are quite a number of specialized ones, including Research Lodges; Old School Lodges, Professional Lodges, and Installed Masters' Lodges.
The Grand Lodge of Ghana was founded on 24 January 2009, a number of years after this paper was presented.
