WEST BEND - The Masonic Lodge in West Bend will mark its 150th anniversary this year in unique fashion.

“We’re bringing the George Washington Inaugural Bible to town and we’re going to have it on display for the public,” said Steven Hilger, a Jr. Warden with Lodge No.138.

The George Washington Inaugural Bible was the one used by Washington when he was sworn in as the first President of the United States on April 30, 1789.

“We talked about its significance in US history and someone mentioned when it’s not on tour it’s at Federal Hall in Manhattan and so we checked to see what it would take to get it,” said Hilger.

A formal letter was drafted in the beginning of March and within three short months the local Masons were notified they’d be allowed to have the Bible on display Friday, June 21 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, June 22 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.    

WEST BEND (WITI) -- On April 24, 2013 in Rana Plaza in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a garment factory collapsed killing 1,127 workers and injuring 2,500. The building was structurally unsound and parts of it illegally built. Eight years earlier, inspired by a photograph by the National Labor Committee’s Charles Kernaghan and a desire to raise awareness of where and how a lot of the brand name clothing in the United States is made, Terese Agnew completed Portrait of a Textile Worker, an 8 by 9 foot tapestry made entirely of clothing labels. In an effort to contribute to the conversation about where much of our clothing in the United States and western world comes from, who makes it, and under what conditions, the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) will proudly exhibit Agnew’s stunning work, Portrait of a Textile Worker, beginning June 15 through January 17, 2014, in its Modern and Contemporary Gallery.
