Landmark Masonic Lodge Trestleboard January/February 2016 Page 7 TRAVELING MAN...One of the most important rights and privileges of a Master Mason is his freedom to travel. "Traveling" is the primary method by which a Masons expands his Masonic horizons, gains increased knowledge of our craft and meets new brothers. By visiting another lodge, a Mason gets to see variations in the work and gains insight into the different ways Masonic Lodges handle their internal business. This valuable experience will make the man traveling a better Mason and in return will make his lodge better by virtue of his experience. Each pin point below represents a lodge that you could visit. Check out http://www.wisc-freemasonry.org/lodge-locator to find a lodge to visit. Remember the brothers that have helped us with our degrees?
