About Us

A green chair on the porch of the Elks Lodge.

On Powder Springs Road in Marietta, Lodge 1657 has been doing something quietly remarkable for decades: turning strangers into neighbors and neighbors into lifelong friends. The parking lot alone tells part of the story. Travelers passing through have pulled off the road, exhausted, and found the Lodge ready to offer a safe overnight spot without hesitation. That kind of generosity is not a policy here. It is just who these people are.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was founded in 1868 and has grown into one of America's most respected fraternal organizations, with over 850,000 members nationwide. Lodge 1657 carries that legacy into Cobb County every single week, through scholarship programs, youth initiatives, veteran support, and community fundraising that actually moves the needle locally.

With a perfect five-star rating from every member and visitor who has taken the time to leave a review, the feedback is consistent: great people, genuine warmth, and a place that makes you feel like you belong the moment you walk in. That is not an accident. It is the direct result of members who show up, roll up their sleeves, and put the community first.

What We Offer

Lodge 1657 offers its members a full calendar of activities, events, and service opportunities rooted in the Elks' four core values: charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. Regular lodge meetings keep members connected and informed, while social events ranging from dinners to holiday gatherings fill the year with reasons to come together.

Community outreach is the heartbeat of everything here. The Lodge runs scholarship programs for local students, supports veterans through dedicated programs, partners with youth organizations, and coordinates charitable giving that stays right here in the Marietta area. Members also enjoy use of lodge facilities for private events and gatherings.

Membership is open to American citizens aged 21 and older. Joining means more than a membership card. It means access to a network of lodges across the country, including fellow Elks who will wave you in when you are road-weary and far from home, just as Lodge 1657 has done for countless travelers passing through Georgia.

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.
