PORTSMOUTH — The Freemasons are a fraternity dedicated to giving, and that giving nature was honored Saturday.
According to New Hampshire Freemason Deputy Grand Marshall Stewart Aronson, the masons give on average $3 million a day toward charitable endeavors.
The 22nd annual Mason's Day was held at the William Pitt Tavern at Strawberry Banke. The tavern has historical significance to the New Hampshire Freemasons because it was where New Hampshire's first Masonic Grand Lodge was established in 1789. Famous masons such as Paul Revere and General John Sullivan have been in the tavern, even attending meetings there, and there are rumors George Washington also visited the lodge.
