Masonic Cemetery - Perfect Union #1
The vault of Perfect Union Lodge #1 in Metairie Cemetery on City Park Avenue. This vault dates back to just after the Civil War. We have two Lodges numbered "1" in Louisiana. Perfect Union was chartered by the GL of Louisiana, which received its charter from the GL of Pennsylvania. Etoile Polaire was chartered some years prior to Perfect Union, but by the Grand Orient of France. It was re-chartered under the GL of Louisiana in 1812, and both lodges share the distinction of being Number One.
