Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Research Visit

In the Fall of 2023 we had the privilege of touring the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania followed by a tour of the Grand Lodge of New York. There are so many decorative details that I needed to see up close, in person to determine the methods and materials they used to accomplish the artwork. The trip did not disappoint, as you can see in the photos.
