Early Bohemian Grove, August 1902

In 1893 the Bohemian Club bought 100 acres of unlogged forest land from the Sonoma Lumber Company at Rio Monte, two miles south of Guerneville on the Russian River.
It became the Bohemian Grove, is now a 2,700 acre Redwood forest,.
Early photos show tents and Greek-like temples set up in the deep forest grove.
Members of the Bohemian Club who took part in the festivities included successful artists, musicians and writers and wealthy businessmen, powerful politicians.
