“Guild, n.: an organization of people who have the same interests or aims.”
-Oxford Learners Dictionary

Just as Freemasonry is rooted in the stonemasons’ guilds of old, the Washington Masonic Library & Museum is grounded by the Founders Guild: Benefactors committed to preserving and sharing the vital legacy of the Craft in Washington for generations to come. Each Founders Column will be encircled by metal rings, each ring engraved with the name of a Founder who made a one-time gift during the redesign campaign, immortalizing their support of Washington’s Masonic heritage.
