About Us

On Sycamore Street in Oil City, Pennsylvania, Lodge #344 has been part of the fabric of this community for over a century. The charter members who founded this lodge understood something that still holds true today: a town grows stronger when its people show up for one another. That commitment to service and fellowship has never wavered, even as the world around it changed.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and Lodge #344 carries that legacy with genuine pride. Members gather here not for ceremony's sake, but because the work is real. From youth scholarships to veterans' programs to local fundraisers that keep Oil City families on their feet, the lodge puts its resources where they matter most.

Walk through the doors and you'll find a place that feels genuinely lived-in: a hall that has hosted milestone celebrations, community dinners, and decades of Friday nights among friends. This isn't a relic of the past. It's an active, dues-paying lodge with members who still believe that showing up for your neighbors is the highest form of patriotism.

What We Offer

Lodge #344 offers its members and the broader Oil City community a full calendar of events, charitable programs, and social gatherings. The lodge's hall is available for private events, and its regular social nights give members a reliable place to connect with people who share their values.

On the charitable side, the lodge administers Elks National Foundation scholarships for local students, supports veterans through dedicated programs, and participates in drug awareness initiatives for area youth. Members also contribute volunteer hours to causes that directly benefit Venango County residents year-round.

Membership in Lodge #344 opens the door to a national network of over 800,000 Elks members, reciprocal privileges at lodges across the country, and the satisfaction of belonging to something that has made a measurable difference in this community for generations.

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
