This just in: Thomas Smith Webb Chapter of Research will meet Saturday in Aurora for a discussion of the very historic local lodge. From the publicity:
Thomas Smith Webb
Chapter of Research 1798
Saturday, June 6 at 3:30
Scipio Lodge 110
325 Main Street
Aurora, New York
Our very own M.E. Michael Miller will present on “the Colonial Lodge,” home of Scipio Lodge 110, erected in 1806 by Aurora Chapter 64 specifically for their use.
The presentation will include the history of Capitular Masonry in Cayuga County and the symbolism in this building, including architecture, tapestries, furniture, and the cornerstone laid by Gov. DeWitt Clinton. This will take place inside the lodge room, however the tapestries, paintings and architectural highlights are all around. There is an experiential element to this.
Attire for the meeting, because of the age of the building and questionable comfort, will be Royal Arch polo shirts (or just red ones if you do not have a RAM polo) and dress pants.
After the presentation, we will go to Fargo Bar & Grill and enjoy drinks, food, and companionship.
A Zoom link will be provided no later than Friday evening for those who may have an extensive drive but, if you are able to be there in person, please be there in person.
Updates about our meeting during St. John’s Day weekend and future meetings also will be discussed Saturday, and will be emailed afterward.
