About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

The Milan Elks Lodge at 217 E 2nd Street has earned its 4.6-star reputation the old-fashioned way: a genuinely clean hall, a staff that greets you by name, and a membership that shows up when the community needs them. Reviewers keep coming back to the same words, friendly, clean, welcoming, and that consistency is no accident. It reflects decades of members holding each other accountable to the Elks standard.

This lodge is a regular hub for poker runs, fundraising events, and the kind of gatherings that keep small-town life thriving in Milan, Missouri. Riders, families, veterans, and neighbors all pass through these doors, and the lodge makes every group feel at home. The hall is kept spotless, the bar is stocked, and the atmosphere is the kind you can't manufacture.

The BPOE mission runs deep here: Elks care for veterans, invest in youth, and give back to the community in tangible ways. Every dollar spent at this lodge circles back to Milan and Sullivan County. Joining isn't just signing a card. It's choosing to be part of something that has outlasted trends and will outlast them again.

What We Offer

The Milan Elks Lodge offers a full-service banquet and event hall available for private parties, fundraisers, club meetings, and community celebrations. The space is clean, well-maintained, and set up to host groups of varying sizes without the sterile feel of a rented conference room.

Beyond the hall itself, the lodge runs poker runs and charity events that draw riders and supporters from across the region. Members gain access to the lounge, social events, and a brotherhood built on Elks Care Elks Share, the organization's guiding principle. Veterans' programs, youth scholarships, and local charitable giving are funded directly through lodge activities.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks connects you to a national network of over 800,000 members while keeping your community investment local. Whether you're looking to rent the hall, attend an event, or explore full membership, the lodge at 217 E 2nd St is ready to welcome you.

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
