About Lodge 2144
A long local story, ready for a better digital chapter.
Rogers-Bentonville Lodge 2144 has served Northwest Arkansas for more than six decades, creating space for service, fellowship, youth, veterans, and community life.
Our local history
Established before 1960, still gathering today.
Contemporary Elks magazine records from February 1960 reported that Rogers-Bentonville Lodge No. 2144 had “come into being,” with Fayetteville Elks helping initiate its charter member class. Over the decades, the lodge became a familiar community gathering place and eventually moved from its former South 40th Street property to its current North 2nd Street home.
Today, the lodge’s public pages show a lively mix of meetings, darts, music, dances, community service, scholarship work, and fellowship. This website is designed to make that activity visible without asking volunteers to become web developers.

Justice
Acting fairly, responsibly, and with integrity.
