Schofield House

​Built in 1817 near the river banks of the Ohio, in the metropolis of Madison, Indiana, as a Road House and store, its claim to fame among Indiana Masons is the Birthplace of their Grand Lodge on January 13, 1818. Our 200th year as a Grand Lodge  started January 13, 2018. It is appropriate that each year the Grand Master make an official visit to our Grand Lodge's birthplace.

                                                                    Mission Statement

            The Mission of the Masonic Heritage Foundation, Inc. which owns and operates the Schofield House is to preserve and protect this 1800's home as a living museum, which is  the Birthplace of Freemasonry in the State of Indiana for all future generations of Masons.

                                                                     Vision Statement

            The Vision of the Board of Directors is to enable Schofield House to serve actively, through public tours and private degree work by Masons from all over the Area, as the living embodiment of the Historic Birthplace of Freemasonry in Indiana allowing today's Mason to connect with his rich History in our State.
