Masons have been part of the U.S. Congress since President George Washington laid the cornerstone of the Capitol in a Masonic ceremony on September 18, 1793. The Grand Master of the Masons of the District of Columbia presided over a ceremony marking an extension of the Capitol in 1851, during which President Millard Fillmore wore the same Masonic apron donned by George Washington. Most recently, President Dwight Eisenhower participated in a Masonic ritual on July 4, 1959, laying the cornerstone for the extension of the east front of Capitol.
