‘When Lafayette was knighted a Templar’

    

The American Lodge of Research will meet four weeks from tonight for a special Lafayette night.

The ALR

Wednesday, October 29

7 p.m.

Masonic Hall, Renaissance Room

For more than a year, New York Freemasonry has been celebrating the bicentenary of the Marquis de Lafayette’s farewell visit to the United States of 1824-25, and The ALR will close out the commemoration with a look at perhaps an underreported aspect of that history: the day the Hero of Two Worlds was made a Masonic Knight Templar.

Our keynote speaker will be M.E. David Dixon Goodwin, Past Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States. We will display artifacts of that fraternally historic day, and a fantastic feast will follow the presentation.

Masonic Hall is located at 71 W. 23rd Street in Manhattan. Photo ID is required to enter the premises. Master Masons are welcome. Attire: suit & tie with apron.
