Walk through the doors at 309 Lewis St and you'll notice something right away: people actually look up and say hello. The Frankfort Elks Lodge has earned its 4.8-star reputation the old-fashioned way, by showing up for members, for veterans, and for the broader Frankfort, KY community time and again.

The lodge has been steadily improving, and members notice. Recent renovations have upgraded the space without stripping away the warmth that keeps people coming back. Follow them on Facebook and you'll catch the progress firsthand, new finishes, refreshed gathering spaces, and a membership that clearly takes pride in what they're building together.

This is a place where community service is not a talking point but a weekly reality. From supporting local veterans to organizing charitable drives, the lodge channels the Elks' national mission into tangible action right here in the Kentucky capital.

What We Offer

The Frankfort Elks Lodge offers far more than a place to gather. Members enjoy access to a welcoming lodge facility, regular social events, and a calendar packed with fellowship activities that bring people together across generations and backgrounds.

The lodge is especially committed to veteran support, organizing programs and events that honor those who served. Community fundraisers, youth initiatives, and charitable giving round out a full slate of involvement opportunities that let every member contribute in the way that suits them best.

Membership also opens the door to Elks national resources, scholarship programs, and a network of lodges across the country. Whether you're a lifelong Elk or someone curious about joining, the Frankfort chapter makes the process straightforward and the welcome genuine.

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
