American Freemasons launched today as a freely accessible, accuracy-verified reference resource covering recognized Masonic grand lodges across the Western Hemisphere. The site provides historical and structural information on 109 jurisdictions spanning the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, making it the most geographically comprehensive English-language Masonic reference available online.
ACCURACY-VERIFIED COVERAGE ACROSS 109 JURISDICTIONS
Each jurisdiction page covers the history of Freemasonry in that location, the founding and current scope of its recognized grand lodges, notable Masonic landmarks for traveling Masons, and the presence of appendant Masonic bodies including the Scottish Rite, York Rite, and Shrine. All grand lodges featured on the American Freemasons site are verified against the published recognition list of the United Grand Lodge of England, the oldest and most widely recognized standard of Masonic regularity.
The site is organized geographically, with individual pages for all 51 US states and the District of Columbia, all ten Canadian provinces, 24 Caribbean jurisdictions, eight Central American countries, and 12 South American countries. A corrections submission process allows the Masonic community to flag inaccuracies, consistent with the site's accuracy-first editorial standard. The site's sourcing methodology and editorial standards are documented publicly at https://americanfreemasons.org/editorial-standards.
EQUAL TREATMENT FOR PRINCE HALL AFFILIATED GRAND LODGES
The site gives equal treatment to Prince Hall Affiliated grand lodges alongside mainstream grand lodges. In jurisdictions where a UGLE-recognized Prince Hall grand lodge operates, it receives the same editorial depth, historical coverage, and structural prominence as its mainstream counterpart - a standard not consistently applied by existing Masonic reference resources.
"American Freemasons was built to give the Masonic community a true and trustworthy resource, for Brothers traveling to an unfamiliar jurisdiction, for those considering petitioning a lodge, and for anyone across the Americas who wants accurate, verified information about the Craft. Every grand lodge covered is sourced from primary records and verified for regularity. That standard does not change."
- John St. Mason, Founder of American Freemasons
