Ohio's establishment marked the expansion of Prince Hall Masonry into the Midwest. The jurisdiction grew to encompass numerous lodges across the state, supporting African American communities through charitable work and educational initiatives. Ohio became an important crossroads for Prince Hall Masonry's continued growth westward.
The Grand Lodge of Ohio operates as part of the greater Prince Hall Masonic structure, maintaining connections with Grand Lodges across the United States and internationally. As a Prince Hall jurisdiction, it upholds the principles established by Prince Hall and his successors.
Like all Prince Hall Grand Lodges, this jurisdiction is committed to community service, charitable work, education, and supporting the intellectual and moral development of its members and the communities they serve.
