My Visit to Franklin Lodge

My visit to Franklin Lodge in Westerly RI for their annual communication was a great success, the lodge is amazing and the job done by all the brothers was very impressive.

A few notes of interest from the evening (and all are from the public portion of the night). Franklin lodge was named after Ben Franklin and the annual was held the day before his birthday. Their secretary was stepping down after 40 years in the position and received certificates from the RI Senate as well as one from Senator Whitehouse. The Gavel used by the Right Worshipful McGuire District Deputy Grand Master for the Centrsl District was made in 1929. And finally, the outgoing Worshipful Master of the lodge wore his father-in-laws Past Master pin which was a nice gesture of his part.

It was much too dark by the time we arrived at the Lodge for any quality photos but here is a photo of the lodge from the RIMasons.org web site, what a beautiful house!



The lodge room, very impressive and well maintained.



The acoustics in this room were amazing!



Here I am in one of the first floor rooms, one of four such rooms.



Another of the rooms, the lodge makes quite the impression!
