This Masonic Temple and its members played an important role in the history of Tonkawa. In 1905, the members helped lay the cornerstone of the Northern Oklahoma College. This 18,000 square foot temple contains original furnishings, complete with a 184 light ceiling. A lack of maintenance threatens this community landmark.
