About Us

The exterior of Torrington Elks Lodge #372 with an American flag.

At 70 Litchfield Street, the Torrington Elks Lodge #372 has been a fixture of northwest Connecticut civic life for over a century. The building carries that rare quality you feel the moment you walk in: high ceilings, traditional woodwork, and a sense that something real has always happened here. Every November, United States Marines gather inside these walls to mark the Corps Birthday, a tradition that keeps coming back year after year because the Lodge treats it with the respect it deserves.

The venue earned its 4.8-star reputation one event at a time. Couples choose it for weddings because the interior photographs beautifully and the staff actually shows up ready to work. October brides have called it the perfect day. Families book it for graduations. Nonprofits rely on it for fundraisers. The Litchfield Hills region does not have many spaces that can pull off a black-tie reception and a veterans ceremony with equal grace, but this one does.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks connects you to a national network built on the pillars of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. Lodge #372 lives those values locally, supporting Torrington-area veterans, youth programs, and community causes every single year.

What We Offer

Lodge #372 offers a full-service event venue that handles celebrations of every scale. The main hall accommodates weddings, anniversary banquets, graduation parties, corporate meetings, and nonprofit galas. Catering is available on-site, so your guests eat well without the logistics headache of coordinating outside vendors.

Beyond private events, the Lodge hosts regular member gatherings, patriotic observances including Marine Corps Birthday celebrations, and charitable fundraisers that benefit Torrington and the surrounding Litchfield County community. The bar and lounge give members a comfortable place to connect year-round.

Membership itself is a service. Joining the Elks means access to the Lodge facilities, a brotherhood of like-minded neighbors, and the opportunity to contribute to programs that fund scholarships, support veterans, and strengthen the community you live in.

"I had my wedding at the Elks on 10/12/2019 and it was the perfect day. The venue is absolutely stunning inside and out, with a very traditional historic New England aesthetic. The staff is tremendously helpful, from the event coordinator to the chef, servers, and bartenders. Our timeline ran smoothly, our guests raved about the food, and the pours were very generous. Everything about our wedding day was convenient, beautiful, special, and affordable because of the Elks! I would recommend every bride consider the Elks for their wedding, and I'm sure it is perfect for other events as well."

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
