About Us

The Winsted Elks Lodge at 75 High St has earned a 4.9-star reputation the old-fashioned way, one handshake, one ceremony, one shared meal at a time. Guests who walk through these doors for the first time often say the same thing: it feels like everyone already knows your name. That hometown warmth is not an accident. It is the direct result of members who genuinely show up for each other and for the broader Winsted, CT community.

The Lodge is a recognized chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of America's oldest and most respected fraternal organizations. From solemn Eagle Scout ceremonies that draw proud families from across the region to casual Friday nights where longtime members swap stories over cold drinks, the energy here shifts to match the moment. The recently remodeled accommodations give every gathering a fresh, welcoming backdrop without losing the warmth that regulars love.

This is a place where kids earn their Eagle Scout badges surrounded by the people who cheered them on from the start, where veterans are honored by name, and where a first-time visitor leaves feeling like a regular. That is what a 4.9-star lodge looks like from the inside.

What We Offer

The Winsted Elks Lodge hosts a full calendar of events and programs that serve members, families, and the surrounding community. Eagle Scout ceremonies are among the most meaningful gatherings held here, drawing scouts, families, and supporters for milestone moments that nobody forgets. The Lodge also hosts member dinners, social nights, and holiday celebrations in a remodeled hall that comfortably fits a crowd while still feeling personal.

Beyond events, the Lodge supports charitable giving, youth programs, and veteran services aligned with the national Elks mission. Membership opens the door to a network of Elks lodges across the country, local volunteer opportunities, and a social community that extends well past the walls of 75 High Street. Whether you are exploring membership for the first time or looking to reserve the space for a civic gathering, the Lodge team is ready to welcome you in.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
