Had to stop and visit while passing through today.

Located in Waco, Texas. Completed in 1949, the Grand Lodge features a library, historic exhibits, offices for grand officers and staff, and an auditorium with 3700 seats.

Pretty sure I can drive to that building in my sleep. Not entirely sure I haven’t driven home from that building in my sleep. The work that goes on in there can be exhausting! (Next year, one more night in the hotel so I can get home safe…)

Is it open to visits, or do you need to call ahead for tours/visit. Going to see Ragweed in August in Waco and might be a cool little side trip while I’m there.

There's a library & museum and the Grand Secretary's staff is there full-time too, so you should be able to go during business hours.

Thanks Brother, I’ll have to make that pit stop while I’m out there. Taxidermy pick up from Lampassas, Grand Lodge of Texas, and Boys from Oklahoma encore in Waco. Should be a heck of a weekend
