TENT # 110 HISTORY
There Tent was chartered June 7, 2025.
The Charlotte Mulligan Tent # 110 are the newest tent in NY State.
The Tent is named for one of Buffalo's most well-known 19th century advocates for reform and education. After losing two older brothers in the Civil War, Charlotte decided she would never marry, and would instead devote herself to the care of men in need.
She founded a shelter on Washington Street, where she started the Guard of Honor, awarding men privileges if they went to school, found a job, and participated in healthy social and cultural activities.
She took great care of the residents and even purchased a cemetery lot and memorial in Forest Lawn Cemetery for the Guard. Charlotte was also a founding member of the Twentieth Century Club for women, two musical groups, and a writers group.
Charlotte Mulligan was the first female journalist in Buffalo and was the music critic for the Buffalo Courier for 20 years.
