White man and Red man were terms used in 1700s when this club was created. They added SEQUOIA TRIBE since*
This is a private members-only club. It is one of the first social organized charitable clubs of America. Way before the Shriners or the Moose lodges or the Elks Club. This was the very first Club on the West Coast it is the second in the United States. Is called the Club Red Man and The Wigwam Lodge. Is the man side of it.

This used to be a woman's old Library back in the 1930s. It looks like a log cabin inside and it is well preserved. It could also be rented out as for parties or weddings. They have many events year-round open to the public. They are celebrating Cinco de Mayo a week earlier on April 28th with a Live Mariachi band authentic Mexican food and an open bar. I believe the cost is 15 or $25 to get in. They do a St Patrick's Day open to the public dinner and music event. They do a Super Bowl party open to the public. You have to look on their website or drive by and you will see banners out. Also every Wednesday night almost every Wednesday night they have open mic night where they sell beer and hot dogs but it is free to come in to perform or be an audience between 6 and 9 p.m. every Wednesday except during...
