The statue of Brother Carl Stotz, John F. Laedlin Lodge No. 707, Williamsport, the Pennsylvania Mason who created Little League, has a new home at Flag Plaza by the World of Little League Museum. R.W. Past Grand Master Robert L. Dluge, Elysburg Lodge No. 414, originally dedicated the statue in 2001 at Volunteer Stadium at the Little League International Complex.

Brother Darrin L. Feerrar, District Deputy Grand Master, 18th Masonic District (with Brother James W. Myers, Labelle Vallee Lodge 232 F&AM, Jersey Shore, and Karen Stotz Myers, James' mother and Carl's daughter), attended the rededication ceremony, which included remarks shared on behalf of R.W. Grand Master Robert D. Brink and the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

"Overall, the best thing I feel about the new location is the view looking at the statue. The beautiful mountains and the Susquehanna Valley behind are stunning, as well as the view of Howard J. Lamade Stadium [named for Brother Howard J. Lamade, PM, Dietrick Lamade Lodge No. 755, a 70+-year Mason and U.S. Army veteran]. It is a great visual and a direct link to two Masons who made such a significant impact on our youth and the community," Brother Darrin said.

When the U.S. celebrated its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026, Valley Forge National Historical Park also marked a milestone by turning 50!

President Gerald Ford, a Michigan Freemason, signed the legislation that established Valley Forge as America's 283rd National Park unit. It is one of 19 sites in Pennsylvania managed by or affiliated with the National Park Service.

In 1996, Pennsylvania Masons donated $1.5 million to restore the National Memorial Arch at Valley Forge, a project organized by R.W. Past Grand Master Edward O. Weisser. Thousands of people attended the dedication ceremony on Aug. 24, 1997.

At Valley Forge, the Grand Lodge has also played a role in dedicating Washington's Headquarters (Isaac Potts House) and laying the Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge's cornerstone.
