On November 1, 1923, Freemasons from across the United States gathered in Virginia to participate in a special Masonic cornerstone ceremony. They assembled in the heart of Alexandria, a city located three miles south of Washington, D.C., on the banks of the Potomac River, and marched up to Alexandria’s highest point: Shuter’s Hill. There, in front of the visiting dignitaries and the public, including Presidents Calvin Coolidge and William H. Taft, the Masons laid the first stone of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. This remarkable moment in American Freemasonry came about through unprecedented cooperation between the state grand lodges and national appendant bodies—including the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. As we mark the Memorial’s cornerstone centennial in 2023, let us take a brief look back at the prominent Scottish Rite Masons who supported this monument to George Washington, his virtues, and our own Fraternity.
