About Us

Exterior view of the Farmington Elks Lodge building.
Exterior view of the Farmington Elks Lodge building.

At 120 School St in West Farmington, the Elks Lodge has been doing the kind of work that doesn't make headlines but absolutely shapes a town. Scholarship programs send local kids to college. Athletic fields give youth leagues a place to compete. Fundraisers, food, and fellowship fill the calendar year-round, all driven by members who genuinely care about Franklin County.

Step inside and you'll find a social hall that hosts everything from wedding receptions to community dinners, backed by bartenders who treat guests like regulars even if it's their first visit. One reviewer raved about the bartender at her daughter's wedding, calling her a sweetheart who made the whole night. That warmth isn't accidental. It's the culture here.

The Farmington Elks Lodge holds a 4.5-star rating from over 50 reviews, a number earned through decades of consistent service to the people of western Maine. When you walk through these doors, you're walking into something that has outlasted trends, recessions, and seasons, because the community keeps showing up.

What We Offer

The Lodge offers a full-service bar and kitchen open to members and their guests, with drinks and food that reviewers consistently say can't be beat for the price. Whether you're stopping in after work or hosting a milestone celebration, the staff makes it feel easy.

Event rentals are a cornerstone of what the Lodge provides. The hall accommodates weddings, reunions, birthday parties, and private gatherings with flexible setup and on-site bar service. Local nonprofits and community groups also use the space for meetings and fundraisers throughout the year.

Beyond the social hall, the Elks actively fund youth athletic fields, distribute scholarships to area students, and organize charitable drives that benefit Franklin County families. Membership opens the door to all of it, plus a network of Elks lodges across the country wherever your travels take you.

"Good place to rent out but inconsiderate with noise for neighbors. Cars, motor bikes reving up at Stop signs and loud people. I do hear they do great things for the young people!!"

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
