(On July 20, 1969, two American Astronauts "landed" on the moon of the planet Earth, in an area known as Mare Tranquillitatis, or “Sea of Tranquility” One of those brave men was Brother Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr., a member of Clear Lake Lodge No. 1317, AF&AM, Seabrook, Texas. Brother Aldrin carried with him SPECIAL DEPUTATION of then Grand Master J. Guy Smith, constituting and appointing Brother Aldrin as Special Deputy of the Grand Master, granting unto him full power in the premises to represent the Grand Master as such and authorize him to claim Masonic Territorial Jurisdiction for the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, on The Moon, and directed that he make due return of his acts. Brother Aldrin certified that the SPECIAL DEPUTATION was carried by him to the Moon on July 20, 1969.

To commemorate this historic event, and to further solidify and establish Freemason on the Moon, a Charter was issued to form a new Lodge, known as Tranquility Lodge No. 2000, subject to regulations of Article 201a of the Constitution and Laws of The Grand Lodge of Texas, AF&AM.

In a meeting held in Waco, Texas on July 20, 2000, an organizational meeting was held and the Lodge was set to work.)
