Join us on February 20, 2023, to re-dedicate the cornerstone and to celebrate the Memorial’s next century of service.

 

The Memorial is a National Historic Landmark that stands as American Freemasonry’s vital tribute to George Washington and the values of freedom. Each year, thousands of museum guests visit the Memorial to learn about Washington and Freemasonry, and to become inspired by the great heritage left to us by the Father of our Country... and our nation’s foremost Freemason.

The original celebration of the cornerstone was a national Masonic event. Over 10,000 Freemasons attended the Memorial’s cornerstone laying in 1923. In 2023, Masons will gather again at the Memorial to witness the re-dedication of this cornerstone.
