When Lafayette Was Knighted a Templar

Our program this evening will be a celebration of the day the Marquis de Lafayette became a Knight Templar in 1824.

R.W. Bro. David Dixon Goodwin, Past Most Eminent Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of the USA, will be our keynote speaker. Plus, we’ll exhibit relics of the historic day when Columbian Commandery 1 knighted Lafayette, and Morton Commandery 4 presented his K.T. apron.

Join us on this fifth Wednesday in the Renaissance Room of Masonic Hall in Manhattan for a memorable evening of honoring an overlooked page of New York Masonic history.

Lodge tiles at 7 p.m. Dinner will be served afterward. $30 per person. To book your seats for dinner, visit our website here:
