Michigan Masons Open House
Look beyond the funny hats and out what Freemasonry is all about.
Freemasonry is the oldest and largest Fraternity in the world. Its membership roles have included Kings, Presidents, Political Statesmen, Military Leaders and Corporate Executives. Masonry is always ready to welcome good men into the Fraternity.
Nearly 31,000 members of the Masons fraternal organization are holding a day-long Open House October 17 for persons interested in the historic men's brotherhood.
Masons throughout Michigan are looking forward to welcoming guests into their many lodges to explain how Masonry has been impactful to them. Masonry emphasizes fellowship, community engagement, and personal development and helping one another, so we're excited to show what we’re all about.-Robert Conley, Michigan Masons - Grand Lodge Membership Director
Open House activities will vary depending on the lodge. Generally, guests will experience a lodge tour while Masons talk about how they work, special programs they offer, and local activities they're involved with. Guests are invited to have casual conversation and ask questions over light snacks and beverages that will also be provided.
Michigan Masons are actively involved in communities statewide while supporting a range of positive nonprofit causes. Last year alone Michigan Masons and the Masonic Foundation of Michigan raised over $560,000 for cause-related programs.
In order to be a Mason, men must be 19 years of age or older. Masonry welcomes men of all faiths and cultures to apply for membership.
