The Elks National Memorial and HeadquartersTo visit Elks National Memorial and other attractions in Chicago, use our Chicago trip planner.
A monument in the truest sense, the Elks National Memorial was built in 1926 to honor Americans whose profound sacrifices for the nation can never be recognized by mere words.

The Elks National Memorial is a Memorial to Peace, and the hope for Peace. We recognize the Fallen who have perished in the fight against injustice.
