At 203 S Main St in Hopkinsville, Lodge #545 has been a fixture of this community for generations. Visiting Elks from as far as California's Alameda Lodge #545 have walked through these doors and left feeling like family. That is not an accident. It is the result of members who take the BPOE's founding values seriously: charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity.

The lodge draws a 4.8-star rating from members and guests who consistently point to one thing: the warmth of the welcome. Whether you are a longtime member catching up with friends or a traveling Elk stopping in for the first time, the handshake you get at Lodge #545 is the same one that has defined this organization since 1868.

Beyond the camaraderie, the lodge is deeply invested in Hopkinsville, KY itself. Elks lodges nationwide funnel millions into local scholarships, veterans' programs, and youth initiatives each year, and Lodge #545 carries that tradition with pride on South Main Street.

What We Offer

Lodge #545 offers members a full calendar of social events, charitable drives, and community programs rooted in the BPOE's national mission. Regular lodge nights bring members together for fellowship, dinner, and the kind of conversation that only happens when people genuinely know each other. The lodge also coordinates with the national organization on veterans' outreach, scholarship programs for local students, and drug awareness initiatives for youth.

For visiting Elks, the lodge extends full reciprocal privileges. Show your membership card and you are welcomed as one of their own. The cozy setup at 203 South Main provides a comfortable gathering space that feels like a neighborhood living room, not a banquet hall. It is the sort of place where a road trip stop turns into a two-hour conversation you did not want to end.

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
