Winter 2024
Temple TIMES A Message from Michael D. McKee, Executive Director On Sept. 28, 2024, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of Brother and Gen. Marquis de Lafayette's return to Philadelphia with a soirée. This event, hosted with community partners, allowed the Masonic Library and Museum to continue to highlight the contributions of Freemasons to the birth of our nation. In addition, we displayed our collection of Lafayette letters and other items from our French brothers. The history, dignity and values of Pennsylvania Freemasons were exhibited for the world to see.
Looking toward the future, we are conducting a building survey to identify the capital needs of our Masonic Temple. The restoration of our historic building is paramount in safeguarding our footprint on the birthplace of our nation. Thank you for your continued support in preserving our majestic Masonic Temple, a landmark for Freemasons all over the world.
