1. Warren Lodge No. 10 Marker
On this site, in the year 1859, Warren Lodge No. 10 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons erected the first Masonic temple in southern Oregon. Jackson County used the first floor as a courthouse and purchased the building in 1867. The county replaced the structure in 1883 with the present two-story brick building that now houses the museum. Warren Lodge, meanwhile, held its meetings in the Odd Fellows' temple from 1867 until 1875, when the present Masonic temple on the corner of California and Oregon streets was completed.
