About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

The Elks Lodge on Easy Street has been a fixture of North Platte for generations, a place where ranchers, veterans, teachers, and tradespeople sit at the same table and call each other brother. The lodge traces its roots to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, founded in 1868, and every tradition practiced here connects directly to that national mission of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity.

Walk through the front door and you'll find a full-service bar, a meeting hall built for real community gatherings, and members who actually know your name. The lodge supports local youth scholarships, veterans programs, and community causes that never make the front page but change lives all the same. That 5-star reputation isn't an accident. It's the result of people who show up, year after year, because this place is worth showing up for.

Located at 502 Easy St, the lodge is easy to find and even easier to love. Whether you're a longtime member returning after years away or a North Platte resident curious about joining, the door is open and the welcome is genuine.

What We Offer

The North Platte Elks Lodge offers more than a membership card. Members gain access to a full-service clubroom, regular lodge dinners, and a calendar packed with social events, card nights, and holiday celebrations that have become annual traditions for hundreds of local families.

Beyond the social calendar, the lodge runs active charitable programs including youth scholarship awards, support for local veterans, and fundraising drives that put real dollars back into the North Platte community. Meeting rooms are available for lodge functions and approved events, giving members a proper home base for organizing, planning, and gathering.

Membership is open to U.S. citizens who believe in the Order's values. Dues are straightforward, the benefits are tangible, and the connections you build here tend to last a lifetime.

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.
