History Of The Program
The history of the Grotto goes back to 1899 when a group of Master Masons met in Hamilton, New York for fun and informal meetings. Confining their membership to Master Masons, this group became so popular that additional groups began forming in other locations. This once-small committee expanded to become the Supreme Council, Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, with sub-chapters called Grottoes across North America.
