Don't forget to register for the Midwest Conference on Masonic Education May 2-3, 2025 in Indianapolis.

Here's the lineup for what is shaping up to be a truly terrific program.

​

This year's conference will be held at the historic Indianapolis Masonic Temple, located at 525 N. Illinois Street.

Be sure you visit the Masonic Library and Museum of Indiana on the 5th floor of the Masonic Temple. It will be open throughout the day on Saturday.

Don't forget that Brent Morris and I will kick off this conference on Friday night at the Rathskeller Restaurant.

​

​

While you're in town, be sure to visit our other two downtown landmark Masonic buildings: the Indianapolis Scottish Rite Cathedral, just north of the Temple at North and Meridian Streets; and the Murat Shrine Temple at 502 North New Jersey Street.

No one will be bored in this town, I promise. If this is your first time in Indianapolis, don't just chain yourself to the hotel. Downtown Indianapolis is FILLED with 300 restaurants, so you will find an embarrassment of riches when hunting somewhere to eat dinner. Better yet, this is a walking city, and loads of business areas are interconnected connected with covered walkways, including the Circle Center Mall.

Check out the Downtown Indy website for ideas.

And before you leave town, mosey down to the south lawn of the Statehouse and take your picture next to the statue of George Washington in his Masonic regalia as the founding Master of Alexandria lodge in Virginia. He appropriately faces Washington Street.

I hope you have a great time in my home town! Great Masonic ideas and practices got their start in Indiana, and we have much to be proud of here.

Welcome to Indianapolis!
