Warren Masonic Lodge No. 32, located in Schultzville, New York, is a historic Masonic temple built in the Italianate style. Chartered on June 10, 1807, by DeWitt Clinton, Grand Master of Masons in New York, it is the oldest existing lodge in Dutchess County. Named for Revolutionary War hero Joseph Warren, the lodge spent its first fifty years meeting in various locations throughout the county before settling permanently in Schultzville in 1864, when lodge member Theodore Schultz donated land and $2,000 toward construction of a dedicated hall. The lodge retains the distinctive tradition of being New York's only remaining Full Moon Lodge, scheduling its monthly meetings for the Thursday before every full moon rather than a fixed calendar date. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Warren Lodge celebrated its bicentennial in 2007.
