About Us

At 519 12th Street, the Lawrenceville Elks Lodge is the kind of place where you walk in a stranger and leave knowing half the room by name. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. Regulars describe it simply: good people, good times. That reputation has held for decades, and it shows in the 4.5-star rating from members and guests who keep coming back.

The Lodge serves as a social anchor for Lawrenceville, IL and the surrounding Lawrence County community. From charitable fundraisers and veteran support initiatives to fish fries and holiday gatherings, the calendar stays full. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has a national mission built on charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity, and this local chapter lives that out in practical, everyday ways.

Yes, the interior leans dark and cozy rather than bright and modern. That is part of the character. It is a lodge, not a lobby. If you are looking for a community where membership actually means something, a gathering space for events, or simply a place to pull up a stool among familiar faces, this is the address.

What We Offer

The Lawrenceville Elks Lodge offers members and their guests a full social hall available for private event rentals, lodge meetings, and community fundraisers. The bar and lounge provide a comfortable spot to unwind after work or catch up with fellow members on weekends.

Elks membership unlocks access to a national network of over 2,000 lodges across the country, scholarship programs for local students, veteran outreach, and youth activities. Locally, the lodge organizes seasonal events, charity drives, and civic programs that put real dollars and volunteer hours back into Lawrence County.

Whether you are a long-standing Elk or someone curious about joining, the lodge welcomes inquiries. Stop by during posted hours, speak with a current member, or attend an open event to see what the community is about firsthand.

The Order · Since 1868

Join the Elks
A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
