Raper Commandery No. 1, K.T.

Raper Commandery No. 1, K.T. Est. 1854- Raper Encampment No. 1, K.T. Raper Drill Corp No. 1 is the most decorated Drill Team in the history of the Grand Encampment.

Raper Commandery No. 1 (originally Raper Encampment) is the eldest Commandery of Knigths Templar in the State of Indiana, founded in AD 1854 / AO 736. It is the only Commandery in Indiana, and one of a few in the country, who still wears the Traditional Knights Templar regalia, consisting of a long, black frock coat; baldric, belt, sword and scabbard, chapeau, white shirt and black tie, and black

trousers, with white gloves. The past Teams and awards are displayed in the Commandery's Armory and Parlor Rooms on the 7th Floor of Indiana Freemasons Hall, just outside of their Asylum. Raper No. 1 is the primary sponsor of Levant Preceptory, a group of Knights Templar who confer the Order of the Temple for different commanderies around the Midwest in period order outfits. Levant has traveled and worked throughout Indiana, including the Indiana Masonic Home in Franklin, and has crossed borders to perform the Order of the Temple in Detroit, Michigan at the largest Masonic Temple in the country. The Drill Corp last took 1st Place in 'B' Class Drill at 63rd Grand Encampment of Knights Templar Triennial, in Houston, Texas, under the direction of SK Captain George Kivett, KYCH, HPREGC, KCT.
