One of the many tenets of Masonry is gaining more knowledge. One of the ways this is done is to visit other Masonic lodges, or places of Masonic interest. This area is dedicated to members of our lodge and their experiences in traveling.

The United States National Memorial Arch, Valley Forge National Park was dedicated on June 19, 1917. The Arch is located at the intersection of Outerline Drive and Gulph Road and was erected to commemorate the arrival of General George Washington and his Continental Army into Valley Forge.
80 years after it's dedication, the arch was closed to the public for safety reasons. The Masons of Pennsylvania were determined to restore the arch to its previous glory. In March of 1996 R.W. Grand Master Edward O. Weisser signed an agreement with the National Park Service at Valley Forge for a restoration project. On Aug. 24, 1997, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania unveiled the restored National Memorial Arch.
