50th Anniversary Celebration and Rededication

The Museum of Our National Heritage opened on April 20, 1975. The museum, now known as the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, was a Bicentennial gift to the nation from the Scottish Rite Freemasons of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. Join us on Sunday, April 13, 2025, to kick off the museum’s 50th anniversary celebration!

This special event will feature a rededication of the museum as well as the opportunity to see the museum’s two new gallery exhibitions: “Protest & Promise: The American Revolution in Lexington” and “Looking Back, Moving Forward: 50 Years of Collecting.” This event launches a year of celebratory anniversary programming, including gallery talks, engaging lectures, and new exhibitions.

Come celebrate with us as we begin our next half century!
