Dabney Hill Lodge Hall

The Dabney Hill Lodge Hall, built circa 1910, was an integral part of the Dabney Hill Freedom Colony which was established near Snook, Texas in 1887 by Daniel Dabney. The Lodge was included on Preservation Texas’s 2021 Most Endangered Places list after the church adjacent to it collapsed, and is the only institutional building still remaining in the small rural community. The lodge is an exceptional (and exceedingly rare) example of rural Black masonic lodges.
