The DeMolay Museum

5 September, 2019

DeMolay’s 100 year heritage comes to life in its DeMolay Museum. In 2019, the DeMolay Foundation initiated efforts to create a history museum that links Kansas City, Masonry, and DeMolay. The Foundation, as owner of most of the DeMolay artifacts, seeks to improve the archival storage of items that are as many as 100 years old.

Our first post tells the story of DeMolay’s founding. We hope you enjoy these photographs, and that you look forward to a more robust museum effort.
