The George Washington Masonic Memorial is pleased to present the 100th Anniversary Commemorative Ornament: The George Washington Masonic Memorial Crest. It is based on the Washington Family Crest with the addition of the Masonic emblem of the Square and Compasses surrounding the letter “G” and the date 1910.

This Crest was designed as the new logo of the George Washington Masonic Memorial Association to commemorate its 100th Anniversary on February 22, 2010. We celebrate our first 100 years and dedicate ourselves to continue to preserve the Memorial for all future generations.

The George Washington Masonic Memorial is pleased to present the 2009 Commemorative Holiday Ornament: the Crown and Cross of the Masonic Knights Templar. The Knights Templar was founded in the 12th century. Membership consists of people from all walks of life, all of whom profess a belief in the Christian religion. The tenets of the Knights Templar are “Integrity, Obedience and Courage.” The Knights Templar operate on a local, state and national level and their religious activities extend across international borders. They support Masonic youth groups and raise millions of dollars for educational assistance for students, medical research and “Holy Land Pilgrimages” for Christian ministers.
