As part of the afternoon’s festivities, the Masonic Lodge will be open for tours. The Neo-Classical Revival Masonic Temple was built in 1924 at a cost of $300,000. The building features two Lodge rooms on the second floor. The largest of the meeting rooms continues the Neo-Classical Revival design, while the smaller reflects an Egyptian esthetic. The first floor is dominated by the ballroom which can easily seat 200. Doors will open at 12:00 noon, with tours of the building being offered prior to and following the performance of the radio plays.
