The Litchfield Senior Center is located in the Academy Building next to the Libby Tozier Elementary School.  It’s open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, or when the flag is out, with special events in-between.  The Center opened on October 15, 2004, by the Senior Advisory Committee (a group of 8 that was appointed by the Board of Selectmen on July 1, 2004).

A Director is appointed by the Selectmen to oversee the running of the Center.  The Senior Advisory Committee and several area residents volunteer to help with the Center.  The current Director is Lori Larrabee, who started on October 6, 2025.

Some of the many activities offered include exercise programs, line dancing, crafts, guest speakers, games (cribbage, scrabble, cards, etc.), puzzles, books, book club, knitting, crochet (help learn too!) and sewing classes if requested.  We also celebrate monthly birthdays at potluck luncheons.  In addition, we have some medical equipment to borrow and laptops to use during open hours.

Check out our upcoming Roadrunner trips — October 6th to the Fryeburg Fair, October 15th for a North Conway shopping trip and a trip to Oxford Casino on October 29th.  We have a bus available if you prefer not to drive.  We need 6 people signed up in order to use the bus. The bus seats 14, plus a driver. The bus will leave the Sportmen’s Club for most of these events by 9:30. Check our Facebook page (Litchfield Senior Center News & Activities) for updates. Arrive by 9:15 if you are signed up for bus.  Call the Center at 446-6275 if you are interested.  We are in need of volunteer drivers! If interested in helping out, call Lori at the Center.

The Carol Bailey String Band performs throughout the year.  Check our calendar for places and times.  Line dancing is on Mondays and the band on Wednesdays.

We have a Gardening Club that meets 1:00pm-3:00pm the 2nd Wednesday of every month. If you would like more information, contact the Senior Center or check us out on our Facebook page: Litchfield Garden Club.

We now have a sewing class on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month at 10:30 a.m.  Call the Center for more info.

The Center has an AARP rep coming to our luncheon November 20th at noon to talk about spam calls.

Stop by the Center and see what a wonderful meeting place Litchfield has to offer our Seniors.  While there, you can pick up a monthly calendar of events.  The monthly calendar is also posted on the bulletin board at the Post Office, the window at the Town Office and in the Town Sodalite.  We also have copies at Amy’s Place, Percy’s Hardware, and the Route 197 Diner.  We are now putting a recipe to share or make on the back of the calendar!

If we need to make changes in our scheduling, you will see those on our Facebook page, Litchfield Senior Center news and activities, or you can call the Center at 446-6275.

This is a great gathering place to make new friends and old friends….no dues, no fees.  If you have suggestions or ideas, feel free to call or com in when the flag is out.  We also have a suggestion box on the desk in the entryway.

We are looking at doing a sewing day in the future for those that just want to gather, sew and talk.  We are also thinking about a game night.  If interested, call the center at 446-6572.  We would like some suggestions for game night activities.
