| Mark A. Tabbert |
We’ll start out at Cincinnati Lodge No. 3 for a catered meal
before heading around the corner to the historic Ford Mansion for Mark’s talk
on the Masonic life and times of George Washington. As you know, Mark is the
Director of Collections at the George Washington Masonic Memorial in Virginia,
as well as the author of several thoughtful books on Freemasonry that you
should have read by now.
This meeting commemorates the 260th anniversary of the
Masonic raising of a young man named George Washington. Cincinnati Lodge is
named for the Society of the Cincinnati, America’s oldest private society
devoted to patriotic values. Founded in 1783 by American and French military
officers of the American Revolution, it lives on today through its hereditary
membership as a historical and educational foundation in the public service.
The Ford Mansion is a mid-18th century residence that served as Gen.
George Washington’s headquarters during the storied winter of 1779-80. It now
is part of the National Parks Service.
So you see the theme here.
The program at Ford Mansion is open to Master Masons. Leave
me a note (not for publication) with your e-mail address in the comments
section if you want to attend, and I’ll get back to you.
