Potomac Lodge Teaser
Discover the forgotten history of early American Freemasonry and the founding of the Nation’s Capital in Potomac Lodge. Rebuilt from surviving Grand Lodge proceedings, town archives, land sales, and early period newspapers, this work chronicles how a small lodge of George-Town merchants, tradesmen, and stonemasons became central to the birth of Washington, D.C. From laying the cornerstones of the President’s House in 1792 and the U.S. Capitol with George Washington in 1793 to establishing the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia in 1811, this book brings to life the intertwined story of a historic lodge and the city that grew around it.
