Description: What's the deal with Grants Pass and cavemen? Excellent question! When State Road 46 was built to access the Oregon Caves National Monument in the 1920s, Grants Pass was the closest town and local businessmen decided to form a "Caveman Club" to capitalize on the caves and promote their town. They dressed the part and became notorious for their antics and popular entertainment for locals and tourists alike. Fast forward to 1971 and the Cavemen Club raised $10k to have an imposing 16' Caveman statue built and he has been standing watch over in Grants Pass ever since. The more you know*
