Freemasonry is the oldest fraternal organization in the world.
It is dedicated to promoting improvement in the character of its members. A Mason
is taught to be a good citizen, to be of good character, & to care for those less
fortunate.
Freemasonry traces its roots to the Middle Ages. It is from associations of stone
masons, who built the magnificent cathedrals, castles, and monasteries of Europe
that the fraternity started. These groups, eventually, began to accept members who
were not actual working masons.
They adopted the term "Accepted" Masons, and Freemasonry was born.
