Some background on the muses

The Lodge of the Nine Muses evolved out a Study Group that was formed and met the George Washington Masonic Memorial in 1995. In 1996 the study group moved to the District of Columbia and a Dispensation to form the Lodge was granted by the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. The Lodge received its charter in 1997.

Vision of the Lodge of the Nine Muses No. 1776

The Lodge of the Nine Muses is a contemporary Mystery School for Masons seeking enlightenment. Within its sheltered environment, the Brethren achieve their personal growth through fraternal interaction in the best Masonic tradition of ritual, discussion, and contemplation.

The lodge meets regularly on the third Wednesday of the month except for the months of July and August when no regular meetings are held. Unless otherwise indicated by the Lodge Summons on the main page, the Lodge of the Nine Muses No. 1776 meets at the Scottish Rite Temple, 2800 16th Street, NW, in the District of Columbia. The temple is located near the intersection of 16th and Columbia Road. Parking is accessible by taking Fuller Street off 16th Street, then right onto Mozart Place, then a right into the Scottish Rite parking lot. If you take Metro the closest stop is the Columbia Heights station on the Green Line.
