The Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania

A National Historic Landmark in the heart of Philadelphia, the Masonic Temple features a Norman-style exterior which ushers visitors inside where stylistic references to the Middle Ages give way to a fantasy of Renaissance-inspired neoclassicism in the corridors and stairs and to 19th Century “eclectic revivalism” in the lodge rooms. The Museum’s collection consists of more than 30,000 items, including one of Brother George Washington’s Masonic Aprons and Ben Franklin’s Masonic sash.
