The Bohemian Club and Bohemian Grove: San Francisco's 1872 artists' society

Established in 1872 by San Francisco journalists and artists, the Bohemian Club keeps a city clubhouse at 624 Taylor Street on Nob Hill and owns Bohemian Grove, a redwood retreat in Sonoma County. The Grove hosts an annual two-week summer encampment and its 'Cremation of Care' ceremony, first devised in 1881 by co-founder James F. Bowman. The club remains men-only.
