SUMMARY:Celebrate the USA’s 250th Birthday by visiting the Mendocino Masons Historic 1865 Lodge for a RARE public viewing on July 4th!
DESCRIPTION:The Mendocino Masonic Lodge will open its historic 1865 Lodge Room to the public for rare\, once-a-year guided tours\, providing presentations on Freemasonry by Masters of the Lodge. Masonic Brothers will be on hand to speak with you and answer any questions throughout the tour.\nFreemasonry’s leadership in the American Revolution will be celebrated on Saturday\, July 4\, when Mendocino Masonic Lodge #179 holds its Annual Community Open House to commemorate their nine Masonic Brothers who signed the Declaration of Independence\, on July 4\, 1776.\nThe Open House event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the landmark Mendocino Masonic Lodge Building\, located upstairs at the northwest corner of Lansing and Ukiah Streets in Mendocino. The Mendocino historic landmark building is easily recognizable by the single-piece\, outsized\, statue on the roof representing a scene of a secret Masonic ritual (see photo above). This iconic Masonic redwood carving symbolizes that time\, patience and perseverance will accomplish all things. Common Masonic symbols are Father Time\, a young women\, a broken column\, an urn\, a sprig of acacia\, and a book\, all six of which rest on the top level of three steps and are included in this 1865 extraordinary carving from a single piece of redwood that adorns the top of Mendocino Lodge #179. We look forward to seeing you on July 4th!
