About Us

Outdoor event with trucks and people near Elks Lodge#1044.

On Crisfield Highway, just outside one of Maryland's most storied watermen towns, Elks Lodge 1044 has been the kind of place people turn to when moments matter. The 60-plus members and guests who've reviewed this lodge consistently point to the same thing: the people. Whether it's the lodge members conducting a memorial with quiet dignity or the bartenders pouring drinks that actually taste like something, the human element here is unmistakable.

The lodge has hosted 50th anniversary parties, wedding receptions, and workplace memorials, each one handled with the kind of care that makes guests feel the space was built for exactly that occasion. The hall is accessible by wheelchair, the bar is fully stocked, and the kitchen turns out food that earns compliments long after the event ends.

As a chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 1044 carries a national mission rooted in charity, patriotism, and service to veterans. Locally, that means showing up for Crisfield and the surrounding Somerset County communities in ways that go well beyond hosting a good party.

What We Offer

Lodge 1044 is available for private event rentals covering the full range of life's occasions. Anniversary dinners, wedding receptions, memorial services, retirement parties, and community fundraisers all find a natural home here. The hall accommodates groups of varying sizes, and the staff adapts the setup to fit the tone of your event.

The full-service bar is a genuine draw. Bartenders here are friendly and pour with a generous hand, a detail guests mention by name in reviews. Food service is available for catered events, with a track record that earns compliments at celebrations and solemn occasions alike.

Members of the lodge also gain access to Elks national programs, including scholarship opportunities, veteran support initiatives, and youth activities coordinated through the BPOE's national network. If you're considering membership, Lodge 1044 is a direct entry point into one of America's longest-standing fraternal organizations.

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
