Erie Masonic Temple Preservation Foundation

The Erie Masonic Temple has been standing for over a century and remains one of the most distinctive landmarks in downtown Erie. Its original woodwork, plaster-relief ceilings, and marble-lined corridors are unmatched by any other building in the city.

Now, well into its second century, the Masonic Temple continues to inspire, serving as a timeless backdrop for future generations. New Masons are initiated in the beautifully restored Lodge Room, where the historic setting enriches their introduction to Freemasonry. Couples seeking to honor tradition and family are drawn to the Temple, beginning their lives together with celebrations in the Grand Ballroom or Arcadia Hall.

The Erie Masonic Temple Preservation Foundation is committed to ensuring the longevity of this iconic building. Through ongoing efforts to preserve the original structure, restore early 20th-century décor, and maintain its architectural integrity, the Foundation safeguards the Temple’s legacy for generations to come.

This year for those of you who donate $50 or more you will receive a free pair of our newly created “Don’t Give Up the Ship” socks. The Erie Community Foundation and its sponsors will also add bonus funds for every gift $25 or greater at the end of the event to help your gift go even further.
