The laying of the cornerstone and the ceremony is an enduring American ritual beginning with Benjamin Franklin who, while Grand Master of Pennsylvania, established the tradition beginning with the cornerstone laying of the state house in Philadelphia. Perhaps the most famous of all was when George Washington, also a Mason, in 1793 laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Capitol Building. We hope you were able to attend this historic event honoring the collective efforts of our community, and those who have contributed to making this worthy project a reality.
