About Us

Sit down at Wellsville Elks Lodge #1040 and you'll notice it quickly: people here actually talk to each other. Strangers who wandered in for a party have walked out with directions, a warm handshake, and an open invitation to come back. That kind of instinctive hospitality isn't a policy, it's just how this place runs.

The Lodge sits at 723 Riverside Ave in Wellsville, Ohio, a small town on the Ohio River where neighbors still look out for one another. That spirit carries straight through the front door. Members gather for social events, charitable programs, and the kind of easy evenings where the conversation outlasts the clock.

With a 4.6-star rating built on genuine experiences, Lodge #1040 has earned its reputation one visit at a time. Whether you're a longtime Elk or someone who's never heard the acronym BPOE before, you'll find the atmosphere comfortable, the people genuine, and the community ties real.

What We Offer

Lodge #1040 offers a full calendar of events that keeps the halls lively year-round. Holiday parties, family gatherings, and community fundraisers fill the schedule, giving members consistent reasons to show up and connect. The space itself accommodates groups of all sizes, making it a go-to venue for organizations and families in the Wellsville area.

Beyond events, the Elks mission runs deep here. Members participate in national charitable programs supporting veterans, youth scholarships, and community service, all coordinated through the local lodge. Joining means more than a membership card. It means plugging into a network of people who show up when it counts.

Prospective members can reach out directly through the national Elks website or stop by to learn what Lodge #1040 involvement looks like day to day. The door is genuinely open.

"I went there for a Christmas party for kids. Turns out i was at the wrong place and They were very friendly and helpful in giving me directions to the correct place. Turns out they were having the party at another place down the road because it was bigger spacing for all the kids. It was very clean and had a great atmosphere. If it was closer to where i live I would have probably looked into joining."

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
