It was well established in America by the time of the Revolutionary War. In fact, George Washington was a Mason even before the war. Masonry came to California at the time of the Gold Rush and became formally established in 1850. Only 15 years later, San Bernardino established its lodge which has now been in existence for over 150 years, having celebrated that special anniversary in June of last year.
