A Message from Michael D. McKee, Executive Director
I hope this message finds you well. We are working with the city of Philadelphia to propose right of way legislation to set up our final two poles for the Masonic Temple lighting project.
Masonic Charities One Masonic Drive Elizabethtown, PA 17022
This process will take about six weeks to complete. Then, we can place the poles and mount the lights. This has been a long and challenging process, and the team appreciates your support. We are working on preserving the paintings of the Past Grand Masters throughout the building. In the archives, we continue to preserve numerous books for future generations. We are looking into scanning some of our one-of-a-kind books, so we can share them digitally. The Library and Museum team is grateful for your support of
our endeavors. As we continue celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Temple, we’ve had great success in offering free monthly tours and other events, one of which was our building rededication on June 24. The Philadelphia Inquirer and other news outlets provided great coverage of this special year, and we are excited to continue celebrating this milestone!
