The world's only anti-Masonic monument is located in Batavia Cemetery in New York. Batavia was the home of the infamous William Morgan. Morgan's full Masonic status is in doubt but it is certain he was initiated into Royal Arch Masonry. In 1826, he announced he would publish the secrets of the fraternity. A zealous group of Freemasons, in an attempt to prevent that, kidnapped Morgan and purportedly killed him. Morgan's fate remains a mystery. Some believe he is buried at the location of this monument, but the fact is he disappeared after the kidnapping and, despite rumors, was never seen again. The 20 foot marker in Batavia is only a memorial, not a gravestone.
