“I violate no secret when I say that one of the greatest values in Masonry, is that it affords an opportunity for men of all walks of life to meet on common ground. Where all men are equal and have one common interest.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

 
 
This is Ohio Freemasonry

When you join Freemasonry, you join a band of brothers stretching from coast to coast and beyond. Knock on any Lodge door and you will be welcomed by men who, although you’ve never met, you can be sure share your values. What’s more, you will begin the Craft of becoming the best version of yourself, and open endless doors of self-enrichment and charity.
— The Grand Lodge of Ohio
