About Us

Elks Lodge #1508 has been part of Saranac Lake, NY for over a century, gathering members around shared values that go well beyond a handshake and a meeting room. Sit down inside the hall on Bloomingdale Avenue and you quickly understand what keeps people coming back: genuine camaraderie, a cold drink among friends, and the quiet satisfaction of belonging to something that actually does good in the world.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and Lodge #1508 carries that legacy with real local weight. Members fund scholarships for Adirondack-area students, support veterans in the North Country, and show up whenever the community needs a hand. The hall itself is a compact, welcoming space, exactly the kind of place reviewers describe as a "nice little hall" where the atmosphere feels lived-in and honest rather than formal or pretentious.

If you have ever wondered what a fraternal lodge actually looks like from the inside, this is a good place to find out. Prospective members are encouraged to reach out, attend an open event, and meet the people who make Lodge #1508 what it is.

What We Offer

Lodge #1508 offers members a full calendar of activities rooted in Elks tradition and Adirondack community life. Regular meetings keep the lodge organized and give members a voice in how charitable funds are directed locally. Social events throughout the year range from casual gatherings at the bar to holiday dinners and fundraising nights that draw the broader Saranac Lake community.

The hall is available for private event rentals, making it a practical choice for local organizations, family celebrations, and community meetings that need an affordable, no-fuss venue. Veterans programs are a cornerstone of Elks mission nationally, and Lodge #1508 actively supports North Country veterans through recognition events and direct assistance. Youth scholarship programs channel member contributions into real opportunities for area students, with applications typically available each year through the lodge.

Membership itself is the core offering. Joining connects you to a network of lodges across the country, access to member benefits, and the straightforward reward of contributing to a community that gives back.

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.
