Freemason History

In the past, Freemasonry or Masonry consists of fraternal organizations that trace their origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons that from the end of the fourteenth century regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients.  The general consensus amongst Masonic scholars is that it is believed to have originated in England in the late 16th or early 17th centuries, descending directly or indirectly from the organization of operative stone masons who built the great cathedrals and castles of the Middle Ages.

Today, Freemasons are a fraternal society made up of men who are concerned with moral and spiritual values.  Members of the Freemasons or Masons as they are also known are taught the precepts of Freemasonry by means of ritual dramas.

You may have heard the slogan, “Making Good Men Better”.   This slogan is centered on making each man a better husband, father, uncle, brother and man in society.   It is simply an opportunity to share fun learning experiences through Masonic lectures, experiences, journeys, and family history that enable a man to demonstrate good moral character to our diverse families.   

Famous Freemasons include Samuel Adams, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Gene Autry, Benjamin Franklin, Prince Hall, and George Washington just to name a few.   The following link shows many more Masons throughout the history.
