The Ellsworth Senior Center has moved a short distance to English Lutheran Church, the brick church at 229 W. Main St. We plan to serve you and all seniors from this new location. Come check out our larger, bright space, with windows and a large parking lot!   

From Main Street, turn on Piety Street, go a short distance, enter the church parking area,  turn right and follow the sign that says Main Entrance which takes you to the parking lot between the building and Piety Street. Enter through the double doors which are at ground level – no more ramp! We hope you will join us at our new location!
