An imposing representation of primitive man has guarded the entrance to Grants Pass since 1971, when the town’s “Caveman Club” erected him. The caveman is 17-ft. tall, on a rock pedestal. He was created by International Fiberglass (Muffler Men makers)to celebrate a strange brand of town boosterism that started in 1922.
Local businessmen would don furs and animal skins, marching down Main Street
brandishing their ceremonial spikey caveman clubs. The activity was to promote
caverns at nearby Cave Junction.
