For over a century, Bennington Elks Lodge #567 has stood as a cornerstone of camaraderie and community spirit on Washington Avenue. Housed in a stately building that echoes with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and the clink of glasses at the bar, our lodge welcomes members from all walks of life. From lively Friday night fish fries to charity drives supporting local veterans and families in need, every gathering carries the unmistakable warmth of genuine friendship. Step inside and you'll find neighbors swapping stories over cold drafts, planning the next scholarship fundraiser, or simply enjoying the easy camaraderie that only a true Elks lodge can foster. Whether you're a longtime Vermonter or new to the area, here you're family.
