A Brief History

 Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association (WSMRA) is the largest Masonic organization of Freemason motorcycle riders worldwide. WSMRA is for Fraternal Master Masons; founded on the premise to aid and assist our widows and orphans…bring Masonic awareness to our communities…introduce Freemasonry to the world of motorcycles and the world of motorcycles to Freemasonry. Widows Sons is non-territorial and a neutral riding association. We promote Riding and Fellowship within the communities. Widows Sons is a 501 (c) Not-For-Profit organization.

The first chapter of WSMRA was founded in 1998 in the State of Illinois. In the same year, a few months later, the second chapter of Widows Sons was formed in the Netherlands, making Widows Sons an international organization. 1999-2000, Connecticut and Florida formed chapters a couple weeks apart. At this time, many new potential members who were waiting to start chapters began discussions about the Widows Sons (both in the United States and abroad). The first four chapters that were formed are still standing today. Since then, Widows Sons are represented across the globe on 4 continents…in over 20 countries. In the U.S., Widows Sons are represented in 40 States. That’s today. Charters and Chapters are currently underway across the US and globe for further expansion and growth.
