The freemasons began as literally a guild or organization of masons, stoneworkers, who either worked freestone, or were free people (not slaves or serfs). Masonry is a skilled craft and members tended to be relatively well educated, wealthier, and had reasons to keep their practices and techniques secret. They would also be connected to members of other cities and distant lands.
The origins of these Masonic organizations go back to the middle ages, so members have been part of European society at all levels for a very, very, very long time. Modern Freemasons kept the name, but aren’t entirely centered around stoneworking anymore. They are more of a very big, very old, very international social club. As with any organization there are multiple different expressions and subdivisions under Freemasonry, which do everything from actual masonry to social clubs, from business to politicians, from entertainers to educators.
