Exterior view of Salida Elks Lodge #808 building.

At 148 E 2nd St, one of Salida's most recognizable historic buildings anchors the corner with its welcoming steps and proud signage. Members and visitors alike describe the atmosphere here the same way: genuinely friendly, home-like, and lifted by a sense of shared purpose. That's not an accident. Salida Elks Lodge #808 has spent decades cultivating exactly that kind of belonging, and it shows in every handshake at the door.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and Lodge #808 carries that legacy with local roots firmly planted in the Colorado Rockies. From community fundraisers to veterans' support programs, the Lodge channels its energy outward into the Chaffee County community. The building itself is worth a second look, with architecture that reflects the Lodge's enduring presence in downtown Salida.

What We Offer

Membership at Lodge #808 opens the door to a full calendar of events, social gatherings, and charitable initiatives. The Lodge hosts regular dinners, holiday celebrations, and member meetups that bring the Salida community face to face, away from screens and into real conversation.

Beyond the social side, the Elks are serious about giving back. Veterans' programs, youth scholarships, and local community grants are core to what Lodge #808 does year-round. Members gain access to the Lodge facilities, a network of Elks lodges across Colorado and the country, and the quiet satisfaction of contributing to something larger than themselves.

"Interesting building. I've never been inside, but the outside looks cool. I love the steps. The signs on the lawn says the place is only for Elks and to keep off the grass. It would be funny if real life elk animals came over and munched on the grass. I'd like to see that!"

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
