Benjamin Franklin Lodge #83, Madison, WI

There has been regular discussion that the lodge should create a Masonic reading/ materials list. Certainly, there is a wide variety of Masonic (and anti-Masonic) literature, etc., in circulation and it is difficult to sift through it all. I hope that the brethren, as they discover something of interest, will post their own favorites onto the following list.

Sincerely, Bro. Robert Blackburn
