Quatuor Coronati North American Conference at GW Memorial: Sept. 14-16


Just a reminder that late this summer, England's renowned Quatuor Coronati Lodge of Research No. 2076 will host a rare North American Conference with a program of research papers and debates featuring an international lineup of outstanding Masonic and academic historians.

The Conference will be held in Alexandria, Virginia at the George Washington National Masonic Memorial, September 14-16, 2018.
