Bro. and Mrs. C. Clark Julius present the Dudley watch to Bro. Joseph E. Murphy (left), Chief Executive Officer for the Masonic Homes.

Part of the Village Green Area Construction project has involved the relocation of the Masonic Homes Museum to make it more visible and accessible to visitors.

One of the newest displays in the new museum will feature a gracious gift recently provided to the Masonic Homes by Bro. and Mrs. C. Clark Julius, York Lodge No. 266. The gift is the Dudley Masonic pocket watch owned by Bro. William Wallace Dudley, himself! Valued at $25,000, the watch has all of its original parts, which were made in Switzerland in 1924... and it still runs! According to Bro. Julius, this watch is valuable because it is the rarest and most unusual. Bro. Julius has been a Mason since 1944.
