MASONIC 300
On Saturday, June 3, Grand Lodge of England is celebrating its 300th anniversary worldwide. Masonic Lodges have been the meeting place of some of the most famous and influential people in villages around the world. Few local townspeople or even tourists know it is even there, but it stands for so much. Throughout history the members have met behind closed doors or met in public offering up a secret shared warm handshake. In recent years Masonry has come out of the shadows and more into the public eye. To celebrate the momentous anniversary, several of the lodges in the area will be opening their doors. Bobcaygeon: Tucked away in a tiny corner of downtown Bobcaygeon lays a cornerstone of its rich history.
Verulam Masonic Lodge in Bobcaygeon is inviting the public to attend at the Lodge building behind The Source at Bolton and King Streets on Saturday, June 3 between 2 and 4 pm. An explanation into Masonic history in general, Grand Lodge of England and Verulam Lodge’s history in particular will be presented. Entertainment and refreshments will be served. The Lodge will be open to all those who attend to tour and view the Lodge’s interior and its mystique. Masonic Lodge open houses will be going on in many towns in the local area. Lindsay: The doors will be open at the Masonic Lodge in Lindsay (12 Ridout Street) from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, June 3. They’ll have presentations on the history of the Masons and their work in the community. Please check in your local town for further information.
