What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry teaches good men how to become even better men by promoting civility, tolerance, education, and charity. Freemasons are men who can be trusted in any circumstance to try to do what is right, not what is merely right for themselves; they are honest, caring, charitable, and supportive.

Becoming a Mason
One of the Ancient Landmarks of the fraternity is that Masons do not actively solicit new members. In order to become a Mason, you must first ask a Mason to join. Joining the Fraternity is a lifelong journey of self-improvement and discovery. Are you ready to take the first step?

Benevolent Brotherhood or Evil Cabal?
Freemasonry is one of the most frequent targets of conspiracy theorists all over the world. Some would say that where there is smoke, there must be fire. Others point out that smoke and mirrors are the easiest ways to distract people from the truth. You decide.

Discover Freemasonry
Mythic past. Visionary future. Legendary brotherhood. Freemasonry is the world’s largest, oldest and best-known gentleman’s fraternity. It is based on the medieval stonemason guilds who built the great castles and cathedrals of Europe. Modern Freemasons likewise use the tools, traditions and terminology of those earlier stonemasons as allegories for building Temples in the hearts of men. At its core, Freemasonry is simply an attempt to make the world a better place, one man at a time. For that man, it can become as simple or as complicated as he himself desires. It’s not for everybody. Maybe it’s for you.
