The Moose
According to the Ellwood City Moose Lodge #93 website, the Ellwood City Loyal Order of Moose was organized in 1909 by John Risbeck. The club started with 51 members meeting in the auditorium in the second floor of the Ellwood City Opera House. The Loyal Order of Moose continued to meet there until purchasing the building themselves.
The Ellwood City Moose Club on Lawrence Avenue hosted many events for the community including Lincoln High School’s after-prom for many years and performances by popular musicians including Lawrence Welk, Guy Lombardo, & Vaugh Monroe. Outside of the Lodge, the Moose has sponsored a multitude of things in the community including a little league baseball team for many years.
In 1999, the Ellwood City Loyal Order of Moose No. 93 sold their clubhouse on the North side of the 600 block of Lawrence Avenue to ESB Savings Bank and erected a new building on Factory Avenue. The new lodge offers a large lounge area with the original pool table and shuffleboard table that were restored and refinished, both free to play anytime. The club opens daily at 1:00pm.
