Visiting the Grand Lodge of Texas in Waco is both impressive and educational. The building itself has a sense of history and grandeur, with beautiful architecture that reflects its importance as the headquarters of Freemasonry in Texas.

Inside, you’ll find displays and artifacts that showcase the long tradition of Masonry in the state. For those interested in history, architecture, or civic organizations, it’s a meaningful stop.
