About Us

Walk through the doors at 310 Farnsworth Ave and you'll notice right away what reviewers keep mentioning: the place is genuinely clean, the people behind the desk are patient, and nobody's going to pressure you into anything. That's not an accident. Oconto Elks Lodge #887 has built its reputation on being approachable, whether you're a lifelong member or just curious about what the Elks actually do.

The lodge sits in Oconto, Wisconsin, a small city on the western shore of Green Bay with deep roots in logging, fishing, and the kind of community loyalty that still shows up at a fish fry on Friday night. The Elks fit right in. Members here organize fundraisers for local scholarships, support veterans, run youth programs, and host events that give the community a reason to gather somewhere other than a chain restaurant.

With a 4.4-star rating from guests who range from longtime members to first-time visitors who weren't even planning to join, the lodge has earned its reputation as a classy, well-run operation. The space is available for private events and parties, and the folks who run it know how to make guests feel at home without making it weird.

What We Offer

Lodge #887 hosts a full calendar of member events, charity fundraisers, and private gatherings throughout the year. The hall is a popular choice for birthday parties, retirement celebrations, and community dinners, offering a clean, roomy space that's far more personal than a hotel banquet room.

On the membership side, the Elks offer something increasingly rare: a real social network with purpose. Members gain access to lodge facilities, discounted events, and the satisfaction of contributing to programs that fund local scholarships, support veterans' services, and run youth initiatives right here in Oconto County. The national Elks National Foundation backs these efforts with millions in grants annually, and Lodge #887 channels that support directly into the local community.

Not sure if membership is right for you? The staff at the front desk are known for being helpful and low-pressure, happy to walk you through what the lodge offers without the hard sell. Stop by, ask questions, and see the space for yourself.

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
