Iowa Masonic Library and Museum

We would like to thank everyone who came to the open house yesterday! We were so glad we were able to dedicate our Hall of Past Grand Masters in honor of Donald E. Stamy, PGM.

Also, if anyone lost their tie bar and can describe it we would be happy to get it back to its person!

Happy “birthday” to the Library of Congress!

The Library of Congress holds strange treasures beyond books, including a large piece of moldy wedding cake from Gen. Tom Thumb’s 1863 wedding, numerous locks of hair from historical figures and a map of the Grand Canyon made of chocolate.
