About Us

At 499 Park Ave W, the Mansfield Elks Lodge 56 has been a cornerstone of Richland County life for generations. This isn't just a members-only club gathering dust, it's the place where the Miss Ohio Gals dinner drew rave reviews, where birthday parties fill every corner, and where 67 men, 75 women, and 23 kids can show up and somehow everyone feels at home. That 4.6-star rating across 46 reviews isn't an accident.

The lodge building itself turns heads. Visitors consistently note how fantastic the space looks, and the kitchen team backs it up with food that earns words like "marvelous." From formal banquets to casual weekend gatherings, the hall transforms to fit the occasion. The staff knows how to run an event without making you feel like you're filling out paperwork.

Beyond the parties and the bar, Lodge 56 is woven into the charitable fabric of Mansfield. Elks members fund scholarships, support veterans, and show up when the community needs them. Joining isn't just about getting access to a great venue, it's about belonging to something that has mattered in this city for over a century.

What We Offer

Lodge 56 offers a full-service bar with a welcoming atmosphere that keeps members and their guests coming back week after week. Whether you're settling in for a quiet drink after work or raising a glass at a milestone celebration, the bar staff keeps things moving and the prices reasonable.

The banquet and event facilities are the real showstopper. The lodge hosts private parties, charity dinners, organizational meetings, wedding receptions, and community fundraisers with equal ease. Tables get set, food gets cooked, and the room looks sharp without you having to manage a dozen vendors. The in-house kitchen produces meals that guests actually compliment by name, not just polite applause.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks also unlocks access to lodge events throughout the year, including holiday celebrations, veterans' recognition programs, youth activities, and scholarship fundraisers. Visit mansfieldelks56.org to learn how to apply for membership or to book the hall for your next event.

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
