About Us

A decorated table with desserts under a balloon arch.

On a quiet stretch of Powder Mill Road in Maynard, MA, the Elks Lodge has been doing something most organizations only talk about: actually showing up for the community. Kayakers paddling the Assabet River know they can pull up to the bank here and find a welcoming hand. That kind of generosity is not a policy, it is just how this Lodge operates.

Step inside and the space surprises first-time visitors. It is bright, open, and built for real gatherings, whether that is a live concert on a Friday night, a heartfelt celebration of life, or a holiday banquet that draws the whole family. The staff earns consistent praise for being courteous and genuinely attentive, and the food at events holds its own.

With a 4.4-star rating backed by nearly 60 reviews, the Lodge has earned its reputation not through advertising but through decades of showing Maynard what a civic organization actually looks like in practice. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has always believed that charity begins at home, and this chapter takes that seriously.

What We Offer

The Lodge at 34 Powder Mill Road offers a full-sized event hall that handles everything from intimate memorial gatherings to large concerts and community fundraisers. The room is bright and spacious with the kind of layout that works for a seated dinner or a standing-room show.

Event hosting is the heart of the operation. Families book the space for celebrations of life, milestone birthdays, and holiday parties. Local musicians and promoters use it for concerts that give Maynard a genuine live-music venue. The kitchen and bar staff handle food and beverage service so organizers can focus on their guests.

Beyond the walls, the Lodge maintains Assabet River access on its grounds, a rare public-spirited amenity that kayakers and paddlers rely on throughout the season. Membership in the BPOE opens additional doors: community service projects, scholarship programs, and a social calendar that keeps the calendar full year-round.

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
