Paradise Valley #61, F&AM was chartered in 1961 and built the Lodge where it is currently located. PV #61 had a strong and lasting membership for the years it operated. They were also noted for excellence in Masonic Ritual state-wide. The members successfully operated an active lodge for 34 years, where upon it merged with Silver Trowel in 2000.

In 2000, the two Lodges successfully merged and combined the names Paradise Valley Silver Trowel (PVST) and elected to keep the lodge number of 29. Paradise Valley Silver Trowel now maintains a membership of 300 Masons in the former Paradise Valley #61 location.

The Lodge remains committed to its members through its many programs such as the “Brother to Brother” and “Friend to Friend”, as well as Masonic education and fellowship. Paradise Valley Silver Trowel, also known as PVST, is committed to the community in which it serves. The Public Schools Committee runs several programs in cooperation with local schools as well as assistance to the Crisis Nursery. Paradise Valley Silver Trowel Lodge #29 has a proud history and is looking to the future.
