About Us

The Elks Lodge at 560 Main St has been part of Danville's civic fabric for generations. Step through the doors and you'll immediately sense it: the weight of a building that has hosted veterans' ceremonies, charity drives, scholarship banquets, and Friday night gatherings that locals still talk about Monday morning. Reviewers call it a beautiful building with so much history, and that's exactly right. The architecture alone is worth the visit.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, chartered in 1868, and this lodge carries that legacy with genuine pride. Members here aren't just names on a roster. They volunteer at food drives, fund college scholarships for Danville-area students, and show up for veterans' events when it matters most. The community work is real and ongoing, not ceremonial.

If you've never visited a lodge before, expect a warm room, familiar faces, and a sense that people here actually know each other's names. That's rarer than it sounds in 2024, and it's exactly what keeps members coming back to Main Street year after year.

What We Offer

The Danville Elks Lodge offers membership to U.S. citizens who believe in God, with initiation opening the door to a full calendar of events: lodge dinners, holiday celebrations, pool and dart leagues, and members-only social nights at the hall. The bar and lounge area gives members a comfortable place to unwind among friends without the noise of a commercial venue.

Beyond social benefits, the lodge runs active charitable programs including the Elks National Foundation grants, local youth scholarship awards, and support for veterans and active-duty military families in the Danville, VA area. Members who want to lead can join committees and help shape the lodge's direction for the year ahead.

The hall is also available for private events and lodge-affiliated functions. Whether you're exploring membership or looking to reconnect with a chapter you belonged to elsewhere, the door at 560 Main St is genuinely open.

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
