Originally built in 1927 as the showroom for the McKone Ford dealership down the street, the Vermilion Elks Hall is a landmark rich in local history and community spirit. The Vermilion Elks moved into the building in 1933, transforming the former automotive showroom into a vibrant gathering place for the community.
In 1951, the Elks expanded the facility by acquiring the adjoining “Star Cafe,” creating space for the addition of a full kitchen and further enhancing the hall’s ability to host events of all kinds. Over the decades, the hall became known as the place to be in Vermilion, welcoming generations of guests through its doors.
From weddings and family celebrations to community events, fundraisers, meetings, and socials, the Vermilion Elks Hall has been the backdrop for countless memories and milestones. Today, the venue continues to blend its historic character with a warm, inviting atmosphere dedicated to making every guest feel right at home.
