On Chestnut Street in Columbia, PA, Lodge #1074 has built a reputation that speaks for itself: a 4.6-star rating from members and guests who keep coming back, not because they have to, but because they want to. Ask anyone who's walked through that door and they'll tell you the same thing. Great people, great fellowship, great food.

The kitchen here is something locals talk about. One cook, one night, dozens of plates, and a dining room full of satisfied guests. Events like Washington Boro Tomato Night have become the stuff of local legend, with fresh salsa, tomato specials, and dishes prepared from scratch that would impress any restaurant in the county. The menu punches well above its price point, which is exactly why visiting Elks from other lodges leave surprised and impressed.

Beyond the meals, Lodge #1074 stands for something bigger. Charitable giving, veterans support, youth programs, and community service are woven into everything this lodge does. Membership here means joining a national fraternal organization with over 150 years of history, while staying rooted in the specific rhythms and people of Lancaster County.

"Invited here as a guest for "Washington Boro tomato" night. Food was exceptional! One cook preparing all these meals kept him busy all evening I'm sure. Many tomato specials from fresh salsa for your tortilla chips to BLT's, Chesapeake crab grilled cheese sandwich (to die for) + more as well as their regular menu items."

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.
