About Us

Decorations being set up for an event at Haverhill Elks Lodge.

Haverhill Elks Lodge #165 has been part of this city's fabric longer than most buildings on the block. Charter number 165 out of thousands of lodges nationwide tells you something: this is one of the original chapters, rooted in a city that knows its own history. Members gather here not because it's trendy but because it works, the same way it has for generations of Haverhill families.

The lodge at 24 Summer St doubles as a community hub. Members' families celebrate milestones in the event hall, local kids benefit from Elks scholarship programs, and every November the front porch fills with fresh-cut Christmas trees priced fairly, $30 for small, $40 for medium, $50 for large, a seasonal tradition that draws neighbors who've never set foot inside the lodge itself.

The Elks' national mission centers on charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity, and Lodge #165 carries that out locally through veteran support, youth activities, and civic giving. If you've been curious about membership or simply need a venue for your next gathering, the lodge on Summer Street is worth a conversation.

What We Offer

Lodge #165 offers private event rental for parties, baby showers, milestone birthdays, and family celebrations. The main hall accommodates sizable gatherings and can be configured to fit your headcount. Catering and bar service are handled in-house, keeping your event streamlined and your guests taken care of under one roof.

Beyond rentals, active members enjoy regular social nights, access to lodge amenities, and participation in the Elks' broader charitable network. The lodge runs scholarship programs for local students, supports veterans in the Merrimack Valley, and coordinates community outreach throughout the year. Membership dues are among the most affordable of any civic organization in Haverhill.

Each holiday season, the front porch transforms into a Christmas tree lot open to the public, no membership required. It's a small thing that means a lot to the neighborhood, and it's the kind of detail that defines what Lodge #165 is actually about.

"My mom is always hosting parties here, it's a great place. My only issue is not being able to bring in outside drinks and having to pay 1.50 for a cup of mostly ice and a small amount of the actual drink. I guess that is business"

"Place was awful we rented it for a baby shower smelled like dead rodents may have died somewhere they had quarter size flies all over the place was very disturbing must have water damage also the ceilings tiles some were missing or stained the floor had patches of missing tiles everywhere looked like a crack house more than a place of business I would never look at that place again management must be clueless"

"I have little experience with the Elks as a club but they have GREAT prices on Christmas trees on their front porch and plenty to choose from. Small $30 Medium $40 and Large $50. Update: Unfortunately I watered my tree every day and within a few days it turned crunchy. They ship their trees in from Canada so they've been cut for a WHILE by the time you get to choose one."

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.
