The Elcho Historical Society, Inc. is currently raising funds to restore the Elcho Grange Hall No. 671 and Fish House. Visit their website to learn more and donate.

The Modern Woodmen of America Lodge was officially listed on the State Register of Historic Places in 2024. The lodge is a one-story wood-frame building constructed in 1913 as the Elcho Lodge for the Modern Woodmen of America.  The Elcho Grange used the building as their meeting hall from 1932 to 1966. A private business used the space until 2019 when the owner donated it to the Elcho Historical Society. 

This 110-year-old building represents the important role that the Modern Woodmen, a fraternal benefit society, and the Grange, a social organization, played in the social history of Elcho. 

Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers of the Elcho Historical Society, the legacy of this historic building has stayed intact. Repairs are being completed, and by 2025, the Town of Elcho plans on using this historical site as a museum and event space. Future generations will have the opportunity to learn the history of, and preserve, Elcho's roots!
