Patriotic fellowship, community service, and lasting friendships at 121 E Yoakum Ave since 1900
For over a century, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been the heartbeat of Chaffee, Missouri. Walk through our doors at 121 E Yoakum Avenue and you'll find a grand hall filled with American flags, polished wood, and the warm laughter of neighbors who truly care. Whether you're a veteran seeking camaraderie, a family looking for wholesome entertainment, or a local business owner wanting to give back, the Elks Lodge #1849 welcomes you with open arms. Our historic lodge hosts everything from blacklight bingo nights that light up Scott City PTO fundraisers to heartfelt memorial services honoring our fallen heroes. The aroma of home-cooked meals drifts from our kitchen while members swap stories in the lounge, creating the kind of genuine connections that only a century-old brotherhood can foster. Here, patriotism isn't just a word—it's the red, white, and blue spirit that guides everything we do.
