Summary
-
In this paper, the author provides an overview of the formation of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. He then explores the growth of several lodges in the DC area, particularly those within the area of Northern Virginia that was originally ceded to form the city of Washington, and later returned to Virginia. The formation of Lodges during this period and later during the Civil War had some interesting consequences.
