The Masonic Mountain Men (MMM) Foundation is dedicated to preserving the history of the mountain man and fur trade, Western Masonic history, Native American history and the settlement period of the lands lying west of the Mississippi River in North America prior to 1840. The MMM Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes and to meet all requirements of a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. The MMM Foundation is committed to historical accuracy, preserving the skills of our first settlers, pioneers and mountain men in their use of muzzle loading firearms and the equipment and accouterments that accomplished such use. The MMM Foundation endeavors to provide education, good fellowship, promote and maintain the highest standards of safety and sportsmanship together with historically accurate appreciation of masonic activities and equipment utilized during the mountain man era.
