A proud patriotic lodge on Westminster Street where neighbors gather to give back, build friendships, and keep Vermont traditions alive.
A proud patriotic lodge on Westminster Street where neighbors gather to give back, build friendships, and keep Vermont traditions alive.
For generations, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been the heart of community spirit in small-town America, and the Bellows Falls lodge carries that legacy proudly. Housed at 83C Westminster Street, our historic meeting hall echoes with laughter, live music, and the clink of glasses raised in toast to neighbors helping neighbors. Whether members are organizing the annual Toys for Tots drive, grilling burgers for the Fourth of July parade, or quietly delivering groceries to a shut-in, the lodge turns everyday moments into meaningful impact. The dining room smells of slow-simmered chili on winter Wednesdays, while summer evenings find the patio glowing with string lights and patriotic bunting. Members range from lifelong Vermonters to newcomers who quickly feel like family, all bound by the simple promise that caring for one another makes the whole town stronger. If you believe a handshake should still mean something, the Elks of Bellows Falls are ready to welcome you.
