About Us

The exterior of the Elks Lodge at dusk.

The Troy Elks Lodge occupies one of the most striking addresses on West Franklin Street, a Victorian mansion that stops people mid-stride. High ceilings, period woodwork, and front parlors that can seat fifty guests for a retirement party, a milestone birthday, or a community fundraiser. Bartenders like Taylor know how to keep an evening moving. The building itself earns compliments in every review, but the people inside are the real reason members keep coming back.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been giving back to American communities since 1868, and Troy's chapter carries that mission personally. Scholarships for local students, support for veterans, youth programs, and charitable giving that adds up to far more than most people realize until they look closely. A 4.6-star rating across 44 reviews reflects something genuine: this is an organization that earns its reputation year after year.

Membership is open to American citizens 21 and older who believe in God. If you have never been inside, ask a member to bring you as a guest. Walk through the parlors, meet the people, and see whether this is the kind of community you want to be part of. Many visitors who come once end up staying for life.

What We Offer

The front parlors of the Franklin Street mansion can be reserved for private events, and the space has hosted everything from retirement parties of fifty guests to intimate organizational dinners. The bar and beverage service are run by attentive staff who handle large groups with ease, and the evening atmosphere inside the historic building is genuinely memorable.

Beyond event hosting, the Lodge offers members a full calendar of social gatherings, charitable initiatives, and community programs. Veterans outreach, student scholarships, youth activities, and holiday drives are regular parts of Lodge life. Members also gain access to the clubhouse facilities and a network of Elks Lodges across the country, which is useful for travelers who want a welcoming stop in any major American city.

For prospective members, the path starts with a guest visit. Attend an event, meet current members, and learn about the application process. Dues are modest relative to the return, and the community you gain is one that actively invests in Troy, Ohio and the people who live here.

"We had a fantastic retirement party for fifty people in the front three parlors of this beautiful old Victorian mansion. The bartender Taylor handled the beverage serving perfectly. In the evening lighting the woodwork gleamed And added a rich and nostalgic aura. There was plenty of space for everyone to mill around, socialize or sit and talk. We had a perfect time. Thanks Tom and Taylor, we hope to see you soon! Susann and Ted Plan B No Reservations"

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
