VIRTUAL REALITIES:

The Masonic values of brotherly love, relief, and truth are deeply embedded in American history. When you look back at the timeline that led to great American achievements, it is easy to see the impact of Freemasons upon the world. From titans of industry and celebrated inventors to Revolutionary War heroes and Presidents, there are innumerable examples of how Freemasonry has touched our daily lives.

In October of this year, we collectively celebrate the influential works of Freemasons in American history when the Scottish Rite, NMJ unveils The Masonic Hall of Fame—a formal recognition for those members of our Craft who have made incredible contributions to mankind and our fraternity. This Hall of Fame—to be located at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in Lexington, Massachusetts—will showcase American Freemasons from all walks of life and all eras of our rich history.

We are proud to play host to this incredible showcase of Masonic achievement and through it, continue to emphasize to the public the fraternal connection that Masonry has shared with historical figures since the very beginning of our country. This first class of inductees includes some of the most well respected and recognizable faces in our history. Their induction will be honored in late 2021 at our inaugural Hall of Fame Gala. Stay tuned for further information about the event.
