Richmond Masonic Hall

Description

Richmond Masonic Hall was established in 1824 and is located at 112 Crosby Ave., RICHMOND HILL, ON. L4C 9N5 – Established in 1824

Freemasonry spread across the globe as European and American armies visited new lands. In 1759, the war for Québec was marked with two freemasons forging this nation with their own sacrifice. General Louis Joseph, marquis de Montcalm de Saint-Véran and General James Wolfe died as brothers on the field of battle. Following the war of 1812, many British commissioned and non-commissioned officers were encouraged to settle in the Canadas. Richmond Hill was one such region where retired militia built their homes, raised crops and families. So, it should not be a surprise that Freemasons have met regularly in Richmond Hill for more than 200 years.
