Brotherly Love, Relief & Truth
Freemasonry is a brotherhood of virtuous men, centuries old: a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.
Descended from the lodges of working stonemasons, the Craft welcomes men of every faith and walk of life who seek fellowship, self-improvement, charity, and a place within an illustrious history. Solomon's Lodge has gathered in Tarrytown since 1821, and we still meet on the first and third Thursdays from September through June.
