Townsite Heritage Society

Gopher Club

Gopher Club, “a group of happy bachelors boarding together.  We used to live at 300 Maple, (corner of Maple and Aspen) although when Bob Scanlon originated the club it was held in an old building.  The name was picked because so many of the boys were from the gopher state, Minnesota.”
