About Us

At 117 E 2nd St in downtown Seymour, Lodge 462 has been a gathering place for working men and women who believe that giving back is not optional. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and this lodge carries that mission forward right here in Jackson County. Members describe the atmosphere as genuinely old-school, a little worn around the edges, but full of people who actually mean it when they shake your hand.

The lodge meets on Wednesday evenings, and first-time visitors often remark on how quickly they feel at home. The people here are not performing community spirit, they have been living it for decades. From scholarship programs for local students to holiday food drives and veteran support initiatives, Lodge 462 channels its membership dues and event proceeds directly back into Seymour and the surrounding region.

If you have been curious about joining but are not sure what membership actually looks like day to day, the best way to find out is to show up on a Wednesday night and introduce yourself. The doors are open, the coffee is hot, and the conversation is real.

What We Offer

Lodge 462 offers a full calendar of member benefits and community programming. Members gain access to a private clubroom for social gatherings, a hall available for private event rentals, and a schedule of lodge-sponsored dinners and fundraisers throughout the year. The Elks National Foundation provides scholarship opportunities for members' children and local high school seniors, making education support one of the lodge's most tangible contributions to Seymour families.

Beyond the social side, the lodge coordinates volunteer efforts tied to the Elks National Service Commission, with a particular focus on veterans' welfare and youth activities. Members can participate in state and national Elks conventions, competitive programs for youth, and lodge-level leadership roles that build real civic skills. Whether you are drawn by the history, the service work, or simply the chance to know your neighbors better, there is a place here for you.

Hall rental for private events, including meetings, receptions, and community gatherings, is available to both members and qualified outside groups. Contact the lodge on a Wednesday evening to speak with an officer about availability and rates.

Join the Elks
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
