Did you know David ('Davy') Crockett, frontiersman and politician was a Mason, or that Benjamin Franklin, one of the country's greatest statesmen was one of the 13 Masonic signers of the Constitution of the United States?  In addition to Franklin, many of the Founding Fathers — men such as George Washington, Paul Revere, Joseph Warren, and John Hancock — were Masons.  George Washington joined the Masonic Lodge in Fredericksburg, Virginia at the age of 20 in 1752.  Masons and Masonry played an important part in the Revolutionary War and an even more important part in the Constitutional Convention and the debates surrounding the ratification of the Bill of Rights.  Many of those debates were held in Masonic lodges.

Tin Mountain Conservation Center is a 501(c) 3 non-profit environmental education organization with a mission to promote an appreciation of the natural environment among children, adults, and families through hands-on programs in the schools, at camps, and in the community and to demonstrate responsible stewardship of natural resources through land protection, research, sustainable forestry, agriculture, and energy. Tin Mountain has served the greater Mount Washington Valley for over thirty years.
