Grand Lodge of Massachusetts re-dedcated and re-deposited the cornerstone and time capsule at the Massachusetts State Capitol. Just as we did in 1795 and in 1855. Over 1300 Massachusetts Freemasons marched and watched as our Grand Lodge performed the ceremony.

I wish I could have been there but I was on a business trip. It looked awesome with 1300 plus brothers in aprons and collars marching to the State House from the Grand Lodge building.

If it comes out, this is perhaps the best photo of them all. Taken from the steeple of the Park Street Church. We are still coming around the corner, 4 breast thick, over 1,300 Freemasons.
