Men choose to become Masons for many reasons.  From fulfilling a family legacy to forming connections with our American founding fathers and kings that walked the earth hundreds of years ago.  

From engaging on a personal journey of enlightenment to participating in philanthropy and community-building activities.

These are all valid and common reasons men begin the journey of Freemasonry. Though similar, all men have their own set of interests and personal goals which incite them to “knock” on the door of Freemasonry.

Some men go their entire lives knowing many Masons and feeling slighted for never having been invited to join the lodge.  No Mason has been invited to join a lodge, and every Mason that ever was has come to Masonry out of their own free will and accord.

Essentially, all a man that meets the requirements below has to do is knock on the door of Freemasonry and it will be opened to him.

If you are not ready to knock on that door of Freemasonry yet, feel free to contact us on the Website www.westmiltonlodge.org  Please also contact the Secretary, Roger L. Gotthardt, westmiltonlodge@gmail.com with all questions – general and specific.
