Historic Freemason Tour

Named after a temple that once stood nearby, parts of the Freemason neighborhood were first developed in the late 18th century. The neighborhood boasts cobblestone streets, ornate mansions, charming gardens, quaint shops, and waterfront views.

It was the first neighborhood to be built after the Burning of Norfolk in 1776. The neighborhood's redevelopment was also an important phase in Downtown Norfolk's revitalization in the 1980s and 1990s..
