Revolutionary War Spotlight: August 4
August 4, 1753: A Young Washington
On August 4, 1753, George Washington became a Master Mason, an advanced member of the Freemasons, a fraternal organization. He was 21 years old. This event did not take place during the Revolutionary War, which began years later. It was one part of Washington’s life before he became a military commander. During the Revolutionary War, Washington led the Continental Army in its fight for independence from Great Britain. After the war, he served the new nation in its highest elected office. His life included many different experiences before and after the war, and his responsibilities changed over time.
