Bohemian club
The Bohemian Club (literally " Bohème Club ") is an American club that was founded in 1872 by members of the San Francisco cultural scene around the writer Ambrose Bierce . Its members at the end of the 19th century included prominent authors and artists such as Jack London , Bret Harte and Mark Twain . Over time, the club has become increasingly frequented by male political and industrial executives in the country - many Presidents of the United States are or have been members.
Its symbol is the owl as a sign of the ability to grasp the unknown in the dark . There are two clubhouses: one in the Union Square district in San Francisco and the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio (both in California). The general meeting takes place annually in the last three weeks of July in the Bohemian Grove, about 2000 people take part. The owl is placed there as a large statue (15 meters high). Due to the celebrity participants, the isolation and video recordings of the Bohemian Grove, the Bohemian Club has become the object of numerous conspiracy theories in the 20th century.
