About Us

A view of Mt. Adams with clear skies and surrounding trees. — Mt Adams Elks
A view of Mt. Adams with clear skies and surrounding trees.

The Mt. Adams Elks Lodge 1868 sits on Church Avenue in White Salmon, WA, with the kind of deck view that makes you forget what you were worried about. Pull up a chair by one of the firepits, order a drink, and you'll quickly understand why members keep coming back, and why new faces feel like old friends within the hour.

The lodge has been through a thoughtful remodel, modern without losing its mountain-town soul. Exposed wood, warm lighting, and that sprawling outdoor deck with firepits define the space now. Members who joined just a few years ago describe meeting some of their closest friends here, which says more about this place than any amenity ever could.

Elks Lodge 1868 is a chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, built on charity, community, and service. But on a Friday night in White Salmon, it's also the place where you dance to live music after a plate of Mt. Adams Prime Rib and wonder why you didn't join sooner.

What We Offer

The lodge anchors its social calendar around a rotating lineup of dinners, live entertainment, and member events. The Mt. Adams Prime Rib dinner is the signature draw, a full-cut prime rib that regulars plan their weekends around. Pair it with drinks on the deck, and you've got the kind of evening that earns five-star reviews without trying.

Beyond the dining room, Lodge 1868 opens its doors as a full event venue for private parties, celebrations, and community gatherings. The remodeled space handles everything from casual meetups to formal banquets, and the outdoor deck with firepits adds an element few venues in the Gorge can match.

Membership itself is the real offering. Joining connects you to Elks-sponsored charitable programs, youth initiatives, and veteran support efforts across the country, while locally it simply means you have a great place to land on any given evening in White Salmon.

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
