A completely illustrated guide to the Masonic origins and present-day Masonic sites of Washington, D.C.

• Provides a walking tour of the Masonic sites and symbols of the city

• Explores the critical role of Freemasonry in the founding of the United States

• By the creator of The Templars and Assassins

In this guide to the Masonic underpinnings of The us’s capital, James Wasserman reveals the esoteric symbols and the spiritual and visionary ideas that lie hidden in the buildings, monuments, and physical layout of Washington, D.C. His walking tour of these Masonic sites includes both the expected and unexpected–from the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol Building to the Federal Reserve complex, National Academy of Sciences, and the Library of Congress. Each and every location includes descriptions, interpretations, and explanations of the Masonic symbols and ritualistic meanings hidden within its structure, all illustrated with up to date color and historic black-and-white photographs.

Wasserman explains the purpose in the back of putting these symbols and Masonic designs into the capital and how a lot of these monuments fit into the spiritual vision held by the founding fathers. He reveals the prominent role that Freemasonry played in the 18th-century Enlightenment movement and shows how in the New World of The us, free of monarchy and aristocracy, the ideas of the Enlightenment were ready to flourish. This illustrated guidebook to the Masonic secrets of Washington, D.C., provides valuable insights at the founding of The us. It is going to be welcomed by students of esoteric art and symbolism, admirers of American history, and devotees of Dan Brown novels and National Treasure movies.
