The easiest way to find this post is to look for the tall brick and stone clock tower on Baker Avenue. One will find the post across the street to the north of the tower.

On the post's building are a pair of large murals. The murals were designed by the grade five class of Whitefish Central School and painted by them, with aid from the grade eight and grade eleven classes. The murals are part of the Mural - Poetry Project, initiated by the post in honor of the VFW's 100 year anniversary, which occurred on September 29, 1999.

The Whitefish VFW has a relatively large meeting hall which is available to rent for occasions.

In 2010 the post won the National Outstanding Community Service Award for tallying more service hours than any post in the nation — 49,000 in all.
