About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

The Potosi Elks Lodge has been a fixture along State Route E for generations, drawing members from across Washington County who share a common belief: that communities grow stronger when neighbors show up for one another. Rated 4.5 stars by locals, this lodge is known for a genuinely friendly atmosphere and a packed calendar of events, from blacklight bingo nights that draw crowds to charitable drives that quietly change lives.

Step inside and you'll find a smoke-free environment that members specifically call out as a point of pride. The staff are welcoming to newcomers and regulars alike, and the lodge's commitment to keeping things clean, accessible, and enjoyable shows in every visit. This is a place where a handshake still means something and where showing up matters.

The BPOE (Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks) has a national legacy of giving back, and the Potosi chapter carries that forward with local energy. Whether you're a longtime Elk or just curious about membership, the doors at 2218 State Route E are open.

What We Offer

The lodge hosts a rotating lineup of community events that keep the calendar full year-round. Blacklight bingo is a crowd favorite, drawing members and guests for a lively evening that blends friendly competition with good company. Social nights, holiday gatherings, and member-only events round out a schedule that gives people real reasons to get together.

Beyond the events, the lodge provides a meeting space and gathering hall available to members for private functions. Community service programs, scholarship opportunities for local youth, and charitable initiatives connect the lodge directly to the needs of Potosi and the surrounding Washington County area.

Membership opens the door to all of it. New members gain access to lodge facilities, a national network of over 800,000 Elks, and the quiet satisfaction of belonging to something that has been doing genuine good in American communities since 1868.

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.
