About Us

A gathering space with tables set for an event at the lodge. — Newton Elks Lodge #2042
A gathering space with tables set for an event at the lodge.

On West J Street in Newton, Lodge #2042 has built something genuine: a place where neighbors become friends, past State Presidents show up to oyster roasts, and first-time visitors leave feeling like they've been members for years. That's not marketing language, that's what reviewers actually say after their first meeting.

The lodge runs a full calendar of events that draw the whole community. The annual oyster roast is a local institution, drawing crowds who come as much for the conversation as the shellfish. The pool facility is a summer favorite for families, complete with lifeguards on duty so parents can actually relax at their kid's birthday party instead of hovering at the water's edge.

With a 4.3-star rating across 20 reviews, the lodge earns its reputation not through advertising but through the experience of every person who walks through the door. The Elks have operated nationally since 1868, but Lodge #2042 is distinctly Newton's own, shaped by the volunteers, veterans, and community members who keep it running.

What We Offer

Lodge #2042 offers more than a membership card. The pool facility is available for private birthday parties and member gatherings, staffed with lifeguards so every event is as safe as it is fun. Seasonal events like the oyster roast fill the calendar with reasons to get together, and the lodge regularly hosts community fundraisers that put money back into Catawba County.

Membership opens the door to a national network of over 800,000 Elks, local scholarship opportunities for area students, and a social hall where you'll recognize faces from across Newton. Veterans programs, charitable giving, and youth initiatives run year-round, backed by members who volunteer their time because this community matters to them.

Visit elks.org/2042 to learn about upcoming events or inquire about membership. The lodge at 625 W J St is ready to welcome you.

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
