Have you ever wondered why the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, is an Egyptian-style obelisk? It turns out that much of our nation’s capital was designed and built by freemasons. For many years, freemasonry was a mysterious, feared and even hated secret society. But why? What’s the deal with “the masons?”
Baron Tours can answer that question. We’re launching a masonic tour package in Washington, DC, showing you key examples of masonic influence and telling you what it all means. Did you know, for instance, that the men who designed the White House, the Capitol, and the Washington Monument were all masons? And the headquarters of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, also known as The House of the Temple, stands just north of the White House on 16th Street?
Many U.S. Presidents have been masons, including George Washington, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Gerald Ford.
