During the winter of 1905-06, several members of Henderson Lodge, No. 383 GRC, Winchester who were residents of Russell and its surrounding district, decided that they wished to form a new Lodge close to their homes. A petition was prepared and signed by fourteen Masons and, with the sponsorship of Henderson Lodge, was submitted to the Grand Master.
Russell Lodge was dedicated and consecrated on September 30 1906 by the District Deputy Grand Master, R. W. Bro. R. W. Kenning, who presented Charter No. 479 to the Lodge.

On June 10 2006, Russell Lodge celebrated its centennial with an afternoon ceremony of remembrance, rededication and recommitment.

Russell Lodge meets on the third Monday of each month from September to May inclusive at the Masonic Hall.

Russell Lodge is located at 1129 Concession street in Russell, Ontario.
