Our Next Event – Victorian Cemetery Picnic
Revolutionary War Heroes Lecture Series
Every other Thursday, Starting April 9
In conjunction with Fredericksburg Masonic Lodge No.4, HFFI is proud to announce the launch of a FREE lecture series on Fredericksburg’s Revolutionary War Heroes. To celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, local experts will provide an in-depth look at some of our town’s Masonic heroes and their contributions to the Revolutionary War. The free lectures are every other Thursday starting at 7:00 at the Fredericksburg Masonic Lodge No. 4, located at 803 Princess Anne Street.
Our first lecture will serve as an introduction to the “Lodge at Fredericksburg” given by Ethan Burgess. Tours of the building will follow the lecture.
