About Us

Nestled in the heart of Seymour, Indiana at 117 E 2nd St, Elks Lodge 462 stands as a beacon of brotherhood and community spirit since our charter in 1905. We're more than just a lodge—we're the backbone of local pride, where neighbors become lifelong brothers under the guiding principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity.

Picture this: the warm glow of our lodge hall on Wednesday nights, filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and stories that span generations. From organizing flag ceremonies that honor our veterans to packing meals for hungry families, our members roll up their sleeves for Seymour. We've raised thousands for scholarships, supported local youth sports, and kept our town's traditions alive.

Sure, our building shows a few years of character—outdated in spots, but brimming with heart. Our people? The nicest you'll meet, always ready with a handshake and a cold one. Whether you're a veteran seeking camaraderie, a community leader looking to give back, or just someone craving real connection in a digital world, Elks Lodge 462 is your home. We canceled one meeting once (life happens!), but our commitment never wavers. Step through our doors and feel the Elks difference—rooted in Seymour, reaching for tomorrow.
