About Us

Some places earn a 4.9-star rating because the food is good. Presque Isle Lodge 1954 earns it because people keep coming back, bringing their families, and calling it their favorite. That word, favorite, shows up in the reviews unprompted. It means something.

Charter members founded this lodge on 508 Main Street seventy years ago, and the building has held every kind of gathering since: serious committee work, loud bowling nights, first-time bingo players who discover they love it, and quiet evenings where regulars catch up over a drink. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has always believed a lodge is only as strong as what it gives back to its community, and Lodge 1954 takes that obligation seriously in Aroostook County.

This is northern Maine, where winters are long and neighbors matter. The lodge is one of the places that makes Presque Isle feel like a town rather than just a location on a map.

What We Offer

The bowling lanes here have a loyal following, and the phrase my family's very favorite bowling alley from a real member review says more than any marketing copy could. Lanes are open for casual play, league nights, and private events, making it one of the most versatile recreation spots in Aroostook County.

Bingo nights draw a crowd that spans ages and experience levels. First-timers consistently report enjoying it far more than they expected. Beyond bingo and bowling, the lodge hosts member socials, community fundraisers, and private rentals for groups that want a real room with real character instead of a hotel banquet hall.

Membership in the B.P.O. Elks opens the door to all of it, plus the broader national network of Elks lodges, scholarship programs, and veterans' support initiatives. Stop in at 508 Main to ask about joining or to check the current events calendar.

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
