Washington DC, the capital city of the United States, is known for its iconic landmarks and symbols, from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial. But what many people may not realize is that the design of this city may hold hidden meanings and connections to an ancient fraternal organization, the Freemasons.
The diamond-shaped boundary stones that surround the city, the precise geometry of its streets and buildings, and the symbolism embedded in its architecture all suggest a deeper, intentional design. Some even speculate that the founding fathers of America were themselves members of this secret society, and that they intentionally encoded their beliefs and values into the very fabric of the city they built.
This is the fascinating history of the Freemasons and their possible involvement in shaping America’s capital city, and the theories and interpretations that have emerged over the years.
