Ruthven Commandery No. 2 was set to work on June 23, 1855, having been granted a charter by The Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Texas. We support many charities; the Knights Templar Eye Foundation; the Knights Templar Holy Land Pilgrimage, College Scholarships and more.

In the one hundred and sixty years of our existence, we have been led by notable men of honor, benevolence and distinction.
