Have you ever driven by a building displaying that universal symbol of Freemasons - the Square and Compasses, as seen on the background of this page - and wondered what goes on in that building, and what it looks like inside?
Here's your chance - on Saturday, October 9, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, all Nevada Masonic Lodges will hold an open house, opening their doors and Lodge rooms to the public, holding tours and answering questions. You are cordially invited to attend - to look and see - to visit with us and learn about us - and to have your questions about our fraternity answered.
Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and largest men’s fraternity in the world. 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence and 14 Presidents of the United States, including George Washington, were Freemasons. Today there are more than 2,000,000 Freemasons in North America alone, 4,300 of which are Nevada Freemasons.
Origins of Freemasonry are rooted in the guilds of stonemasons who built the castles and cathedrals in Europe during the middle ages. The tools and objects used by these stonemasons have been adapted as symbols and the ceremonies of modern Freemasonry, known worldwide as a symbol of character, charity and friendship. The square and compass design is the emblem of every Masonic Lodge. Today, Freemasonry is a fraternity that brings together good men of various political, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds to work to improve themselves in the community and in the spirit of brotherly love relief and truth.
