Our History
Founded in 1903, the Fredericksburg Elks Lodge #875 has been serving the surrounding community with various charitable donations and volunteering for over 120 years. The lodge was originally located downtown on Caroline Street, but as time progressed, the members understood that space was limited and moved to its current location.
The Fredericksburg Elks Lodge #875 now sits comfortably just outside the city of Fredericksburg, located just 3 miles from Fredericksburg’s historic downtown district.
Fredericksburg boasts many historic sites from the earliest days of this country. Sites such as George Washington’s boyhood home, Mary Washington’s house, Hugh Mercer’s Apothecary, the James Monroe Museum, and the Rising Sun Tavern owned by George Washington’s younger brother. The Lodge is surrounded by a number of famous Civil War battlefields, one of which is right across the street from the lodge, and many historic churches and cemeteries.
As you might guess, Elks come from around the country to see our area and to stop by the lodge and relax in the company of their fellow Elks.
In support of this wonderfully historic area of America, the Fredericksburg Elks Lodge engages in a wide variety of activities in our community. For more information browse this website. These activities serve to benefit both the community and our members, providing great opportunities for fun and fellowship!
