About Us

The Preston Elks Lodge on North 800 East has earned a reputation that shows up in the reviews: people come for a Veterans dinner and leave talking about the food, the music, and the speakers long after the plates are cleared. That kind of evening doesn't happen by accident. It takes members who genuinely care about honoring the people who served, and this lodge delivers that with consistency.

Founded on the principles of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the lodge operates as one of the most active civic anchors in Franklin County. Charity drives, scholarship programs, and holiday events fill the calendar year-round. Members don't just sign a card and pay dues. They show up, roll up their sleeves, and make things happen for their neighbors.

Stop in on any given evening and you'll find something real: a cold drink at the bar, a game on the screen, and a room full of people who actually know each other's names. New faces are welcomed, not tolerated. With a 4.5-star community rating and members who describe it as a place they genuinely love, the lodge earns that score the old-fashioned way.

What We Offer

The lodge hosts a rotating slate of member events that spans the full year. Veterans appreciation dinners draw crowds from across the region, featuring live music and guest speakers who put the meaning back into home of the free because of the brave. Holiday gatherings, charity auctions, and community fundraisers round out a calendar that stays busy.

Beyond events, membership opens the door to the lodge bar and lounge, a comfortable spot to unwind after work or catch up with fellow members. The Elks National Foundation programs run locally through this lodge, funding scholarships for local students and supporting veterans' services organizations throughout southeast Idaho.

Interested in joining? The process is straightforward. Prospective members connect with a current Elk, submit an application, and go through a brief review. Once in, you're part of a national network of more than 800,000 members while staying rooted in the specific community of Preston, Idaho.

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
