Another standing-room only event today in QAHN's 2019 Heritage Talks series. Over 60 visitors crowded into historic, atmospheric Golden Rule Lodge No. 5 in Stanstead. Grant Myers and Jean-Jacques Rousseau explained the history - and some of the mystery - surrounding Freemasonry, in particular Freemasonry along the Quebec-Vermont border. The event was followed by a lunch at the Colby-Curtis Museum, across the street.
