I'm sure you could look it up as well as I.
Here's one link;
www.mastermason.com...

I'm pretty sure that the most recent President who was a Mason was Gerald Ford.

I have found this site
www.freemasonry.bcy.ca...
to be extreamly helpful for not only names of Masons, but Biographies as well. for such people as...
"Wolfgang Mozart" "Ludwig van Beethoven " and "Harry Houdini " there are about 175-200 listed.
It also is a great place to find out about Masons in Cinema...
with such movies as...
"Tomestone", "Bad Boys II (2003)", "Erin Brockovich (2000)" and about 75 others, all with pictures, and discriptions

as well as their so called link to the illuminati.

I can't vouch for this sight, maybe someone else can, but it was loaded with way more information than I was looking for.

True. And here's my favorite Mark Twain quote:

"The word 'statesman' simply means a dead politician. And the world needs more statesmen!"

George Washington may not have been "illuminati" but he definitely was a Freemason as was Benjamin Franklin, who was the Grandmaster of Pennsylvania (he joined Freemasonry in 1731).

Just Google both. You'll find plenty of the evidence that you are looking for.

Some of their masonic regalia can be found here: www.pagrandlodge.org...
