About Us

A wooden sign for Bo. Morgan BBQ Pit.

The Decatur Elks Lodge on Centron Drive SW has earned its 4.6-star reputation the old-fashioned way: by actually showing up. Members host campaign kickoffs, community fundraisers, and social gatherings that draw locals from across Morgan County. This is the kind of place where a first-time visitor walks in and leaves knowing a dozen names.

Friendliness is not a marketing line here. Reviewers consistently call out how welcoming the membership is, whether they arrived as guests of a member or pulled in with an RV and called ahead for a spot. That RV parking availability is a small but telling detail: the Lodge thinks practically about the people it serves.

Beyond the social calendar, the Lodge does real charitable work in the Decatur, Alabama community. From youth programs to veterans' support, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has a national mission, and this chapter carries it out locally. Joining means more than attending events. It means adding your name to something that has mattered in this town for generations.

What We Offer

The Lodge offers a full slate of member events and private gatherings, from political campaign kickoffs to holiday celebrations and community benefit nights. The banquet and meeting facilities are available for member-sponsored functions, giving local organizations a welcoming venue with built-in hospitality.

For traveling Elks and their guests, RV parking is available on-site with advance reservation. Simply call the Lodge to confirm your spot before you arrive. The staff is accommodating and the grounds are well-maintained, making it a favorite stop for members passing through northern Alabama.

Membership in the BPOE opens the door to charitable giving programs, youth scholarship opportunities, veterans' outreach, and a national network of over 800,000 fellow Elks. Local dues support community initiatives right here in Morgan County, so every dollar stays close to home.

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
