About Us

Exterior view of Alturas Elks Lodge showcasing architectural details.

That elegant exterior you noticed driving down North Main Street is no accident. The Alturas Elks Lodge #1756 occupies a beautifully preserved former railroad station, and the bones of that building still carry the dignity of an era when Alturas was a crossroads for the American West. Visitors consistently stop just to admire it from the street, and more than a few have wished they could park a truck long enough to walk through the door.

Inside, Lodge #1756 is what a fraternal organization looks like when it takes its mission seriously. Members gather here not for appearances but for purpose: supporting veterans, funding local scholarships, organizing community events, and maintaining the kind of face-to-face fellowship that no app can replicate. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has stood by those ideals since 1868, and this Alturas chapter carries that legacy into the high desert of northeastern California.

Modoc County is remote by any measure, which makes a gathering place like this more valuable, not less. When the nearest city is hours away, your local lodge becomes the center of civic life. That is exactly what Lodge #1756 has been for generations of Alturas families.

What We Offer

Membership in the Elks Lodge opens doors to a full calendar of lodge events, charitable programs, and social gatherings held right here on North Main Street. The lodge hosts dinners, holiday celebrations, and fundraisers throughout the year, giving members regular reasons to show up and connect with neighbors they might otherwise only wave to at the gas station.

Beyond the social calendar, the Elks are one of the most active charitable organizations in the country. Lodge #1756 participates in national Elks programs that fund drug awareness education for youth, veteran assistance initiatives, and local scholarship awards for graduating Modoc County students. Membership means your dues go somewhere real.

The lodge facility itself is available for member events and select community functions. With its distinctive historic architecture and spacious interior, it provides a setting that Alturas simply does not have in many other venues. Whether you are a longtime Elk or someone curious about joining, reaching out through the Elks national contact page for Lodge #1756 is the first step.

"Formally a railroad station, the Alturas Elks Lodge (1756), has an elegant, exterior ambiance. Lulu went up to the door, unfortunately the lodge was closed when we stopped to boom-dock. We were impressed by the exterior and expansive event area in the rear. RV parking for Elks members - no hookups."

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.
