About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

On Rombach Avenue in Wilmington, Ohio, the local Elks Lodge has been a gathering place where real community happens. Fundraisers for the Clinton County Youth Council, wedding receptions that families remember for years, and everyday dinners shared between neighbors. That 4.7-star rating from members and guests tells the story plainly: people come here and feel it.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, chartered in 1868 with a mission built on charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. At this Wilmington chapter, those words show up in practice. When Geico came out to support youth programming in Clinton County, it was the Lodge that provided the venue and the energy to make the event count.

The space itself works hard. It hosts everything from community fundraisers to full wedding receptions, with staff who, as one guest put it, go out of their way to make the day great. If you are looking for a place where Wilmington actually shows up for itself, this is it.

What We Offer

The Elks Lodge Wilmington offers a full-service venue and social club experience under one roof. Members and guests enjoy sit-down dining with food that earns consistent praise, a well-appointed event hall for private parties and receptions, and a calendar packed with charitable events that benefit local organizations including youth programs across Clinton County.

Event hosting is a particular strength here. The Lodge accommodates weddings, fundraisers, corporate gatherings, and civic meetings with attentive staff who treat every event as a priority. Membership in the BPOE also opens doors to a national network of Elks Lodges across the country, local scholarship programs, and community volunteer opportunities that make a measurable difference in Wilmington, OH.

"Went to the Elks Lodge as part of a fundraiser representing Geiko! The event was raising money for the Clinton County Youth Council on July 22nd. What a fantastic venue and program. I'd like to thank Clinton Becker and the Elks for putting on such a fun event, who knew Connect Four could bring so many people together in Clinton County!"

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
