Warren Lodge No. 32 is a historic Masonic lodge which meets in a Masonic temple located on Centre Road in Schultzville, New York. The Lodge was named for Revolutionary War hero Joseph Warren (1741-1775). Warren Lodge was chartered on June 10, 1807 by DeWitt Clinton, Grand Master of Masons in New York and is the oldest existing lodge in Dutchess County.
It was first located in Millerton and over its first 50 years met in several locations Dutchess County. In 1864, the lodge settled in Schultzville, where Theodore Schultz had left the lodge land and $2,000 to build a lodge hall. The lodge has the distinction of being the New York's only remaining Full Moon Lodge, whereby its monthly meeting date is the "Thursday before every full moon", rather than on a set calendar day. In 2007, the lodge celebrated its bicentennial.
