Follow the square and compass path laid into the city plans of our nation's capital . It is rumored that shortly after the United States won its independence, George Washington, Major Andrew Ellicott, Pierre-Charles L'Enfant, and Benjamin Bannaker designed a secret magical compass symbol within the street layout centred on Capitol Hill. The compass is used as a tool of Masons to master the mind over the material world. Journey with us and discover Washington DC's hidden secrets.
George Washington was a Freemason (as attested by the huge Masonic Memorial that stands in his honor in Alexandria, Virginia). He commissioned fellow Mason Andrew Ellicott to be America’s first Surveyor General. Together with the African-American tobacco grower and amateur astronomer Benjamin Banneker, Ellicott laid out the Federal District.
"Take any good street map of downtown Washington, D.C. and find the Capitol Building. Facing the Capitol from the Mall and using the Capitol building as the head or top of the Compass, the left leg is represented by Pennsylvania Ave. and the right leg, Maryland Ave. The Square is found in the usual Masonic position with the intersection of Canal St. and Louisiana Ave. The left leg of the Compass stands on the White House and the right leg stands on the Jefferson Memorial.
