The George Washington Masonic Memorial is located Alexandria, Virginia, about seven miles south of Washington DC. One of the oldest cities in the United States, Alexandria was a bustling seaport in its heyday. It was also the midpoint between Washington DC and Mount Vernon, the home of America's first president, George Washington.
George Washington was a Freemason. He became a member in 1752 and remained a Freemason his entire life. Today, the George Washington National Masonic Memorial is home to many important artifacts related to the life of George Washington as a soldier, farmer, president, and mason. The Masonic Memorial is also home to two lodges: the Andrew Jackson Lodge and the Alexandria Lodge.
