About Us

Exterior view of Arlington Lodge of Elks surrounded by greenery.

Tucked along Pond Lane in Arlington, MA, Lodge #1435 sits at the edge of a quiet pond, ringed by neighborhood homes and the kind of calm that makes you forget you're minutes from Route 2. Members and guests consistently remark on how the setting catches them off guard, serene in a way you don't expect from a lodge that's been quietly anchoring this community for generations.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has a national reputation for charitable work, and Arlington's chapter carries that forward with local scholarships, veterans' support programs, and community events that draw families from across Middlesex County. This isn't a clubhouse that sits dark between events. It's a working civic organization with real roots in the town.

The lodge hall itself is honest and unpretentious, which is exactly the point. It's a place where a baby shower can feel intimate and personal, where a fundraiser dinner feels like a neighborhood block party, and where new members quickly discover that the value here is the people, not the decor. Guests are welcome. Community is the product.

What We Offer

The lodge hall at 56 Pond Lane is available for private event rentals, including baby showers, anniversary celebrations, fundraisers, memorial receptions, and organizational meetings. The pond-facing setting gives outdoor-adjacent ambiance without the weather risk, and the flexibility to bring your own catering has made it a go-to for families who want a personal touch over a cookie-cutter banquet room.

Beyond event hosting, Arlington Lodge #1435 runs active programming for members year-round: social nights, civic volunteer initiatives, youth scholarship fundraisers, and veterans' outreach tied to the Elks' national mission. Membership is open to U.S. citizens 21 and older who believe in God, and the application process is straightforward for anyone interested in joining a lodge with genuine community pull.

The lodge also supports Elks National Foundation programs locally, meaning dues and donations stay connected to causes that affect Arlington families directly. Whether you're exploring membership or simply need a characterful, affordable venue for your next event, the lodge staff is reachable through the contact form at arlingtonelks.com.

"Attended a baby shower there recently, and was very impressed. The place is not fancy, but it’s in a very serene, setting surrounded by homes and looking out on the pond. They allowed you to bring your own food and there was a bar. The drinks were extremely cheap and the bartender was very friendly. They have a table set up at the entrance with an empty chair in honor of our veterans. We never made it home. There is a locked container outside where you can drop your American flag off to be retired with honor. There is a members lounge downstairs, as well as a beautiful stone patio looking over the pond. We all had a wonderful time and I recommend this place if you have a gathering that doesn’t require anything too fancy. There is parking available on the adjacent streets. I took my five month old granddaughter onto the patio to look at all the geese, swans, and ducks swimming. She loved it."

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.
