VFW Post 5040 has two large halls used to hold meetings, parties, rent out, etc. These are commonly referred to as the "Upper" and "Lower" meeting halls, but they actually have a name associated with them.

The upper meeting hall was named Wilkerson Hall and can hold 250 people when used for large festivities such as weddings. The lower meeting hall was named Thiede Hall and can hold 225 people. Each has a stage area. In years past, the VFW held so many events that at times both the upper and lower hall were used at the same time, different events.

Today, a wide range of local organizations and companies inquire and rent out these halls to hold activities in. If you would like to inquire about rental options and prices, please contact the VFW at (815)-338-5040.
