Every time I change trains at the King Street Metro station, I wonder what is inside of that beautiful memorial and that I need to visit it. It took a while, but Dave and I finally picked a day and scheduled a tour.
The George Washington Masonic National Memorial is a Masonic building and memorial dedicated to the memory of George Washington, the first President of the United States and a Mason. This magnificent structure also serves as a research center, library, community center, performing arts center and concert hall, a banquet hall and meeting site for local and visiting Masonic lodges.
The tower is fashioned after the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt. The 333-foot (101 m) tall memorial sits atop Shooter’s Hill, a lofty peak in mid-Atlantic terms, at 101 Callahan Drive in Alexandria, Virginia.
