The lodge is well-known for its prominent display of the historic Masonic Bible, on which George Washington took his oath of office as president of the United States in 1789. The Bible was also used at the inaugurations of Presidents Warren G. Harding (1921), Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953), Jimmy Carter (1977), and George H. W. Bush (1989).

Three years later, Washington occupied the DeWint House to fortify another American victory when he negotiated the surrender of British troops in New York City.
