About Us

At 101 W. Church Street, the Elks Lodge 312 has been a fixture of Marshalltown life for well over a century. Members show up not just for meetings but for mystery nights, fundraisers, and the kind of evenings where you walk in knowing a few people and leave knowing everyone. That whodunit event guests rave about? It's exactly the type of programming that keeps this lodge buzzing year-round.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has always put community at the center of everything it does, and Lodge 312 is no exception. From supporting local veterans to scholarships for Marshalltown students, the work done here ripples outward into Marshall County in ways most people never see. Members do it not for recognition but because it matters.

This is a place with real character, the kind built by decades of handshakes, shared meals, and showing up when it counts. If you've driven past the building on Church Street and wondered what goes on inside, the answer is simpler than you might think: people taking care of their community, and having a genuinely good time doing it.

What We Offer

Lodge 312 offers members a full calendar of events and benefits that go well beyond a monthly meeting. Themed social nights like the popular mystery whodunit dinner draw members and guests alike, turning an ordinary evening into something worth talking about. The lodge hosts charitable fundraisers, holiday gatherings, and community service drives throughout the year.

Membership opens the door to a national network of over 800,000 Elks across the country, meaning you're never far from a friendly face whether you're in Marshalltown or traveling across the U.S. Locally, members gain access to the lodge facilities for private events, a social hall for gatherings, and a community of like-minded Iowans committed to giving back.

The lodge also actively supports veterans' programs, youth scholarships, and local nonprofit causes. If you want to plug into something meaningful in Marshalltown, this is where that starts.

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
