Masonic Temple Tour

Come see one of the "great wonders of the Masonic World."  In 1873 the New York Times described it as "the largest, costliest, and most magnificent structure consecrated to Masonry in the World." 

While the history of the fraternal order is shrouded in mystery, it is known that during Philadelphia's early days it was a safe place to discuss hot or controversial topics; hence, both Ben Franklin and George Washington were members. Later, in the time when this structure was built, it was a place to be seen and network. These days, it's a site for us to marvel at.

The tour will be about an hour, and will give you a chance to see and understand the highly decorated meeting rooms.
