Freemasonry in the United States
Freemasonry is a fraternal order that originated in Britain and later spread internationally through colonial expansion and migration. Its members, known as Freemasons, traditionally meet in local groups called lodges, which historically were male-only. Freemasonry emphasizes moral development, mutual aid, and ethical conduct, often expressed through symbolic rituals. Over time, the organization has interacted with a wide range of cultures and has at times faced political and social opposition. Freemasonry has had a significant influence on the history of the United States. North America remains an important center of Freemasonry today. However, since peaking in 1959 with over 4.1 million Freemasons, membership numbers have declined significantly in recent decades. In 2023, there were just under 870,000 Freemasons in the U.S., spread across thousands of lodges in all 50 states.
