Masonic Lodge records are an excellent source to fill in the details and context of your ancestors' lives. Join WCGS for our next in person meetup. The tour will be led by Matthew Robbins, Assistant Grand Secretary.
Chartered in 1771 by the Duke of Beaufort and reorganized in 1787, the Grand Lodge of North Carolina was formed before North Carolina joined the Union and before George Washington was elected president of the United States.
The Freemasons of North Carolina can claim a rich and successful heritage. Its members, including governors, legislators, teachers, professors, merchants, and farmers, have been at the forefront of the State's successes since before the Revolutionary War. Its members presided over the formation of the State and the adoption of the Bill of Rights, the extension of educational opportunities to State citizens via the establishment of the nation's first state sponsored university, and have generally worked to raise the moral and social conscience of the people for more than 200 years.
The Grand Lodge
We had a great virtual tour of the Grand Lodge and its resources at one of our early virtual meetings in 2020. Now is the chance to see all those treasures up close and personal.
We hope you will join us. We will see you on October 21!
