NOVEMBER 3, 2019

John Wildi Masonic Temple

Dining in History (DIH) is an annual MCHS event held at a historic property in Madison County where guests can enjoy a catered dinner and learn about the venue through a program and self-guided tours.  The 2019 event at the John Wildi Masonic Temple in Highland, Illinois, will explore the history of freemasons. The Highland Lodge is in a grand house, completed in 1900 and donated to the Masons in 1920. It was built for John Wildi, one of the founders of the Helvetia Milk Condensing Company (later Pet Milk). The last date to make reservations is October 25.
