When lodges or Scottish Rite meetings take place, the door is guarded by an officer known as the Tyler. This is the sword used by the Tyler for the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction. When not in use, it is on display in the museum. But it is used during Supreme Council Meetings.
