Cowboy Club and Silver Saddle Room
241 North State Road 89A
Uptown Sedona, Arizona
Uptown Sedona has a different character than it did in simpler times. The venue for our meeting, the Cowboy Club, sits on the property that used to be the Oak Creek Tavern.
The Tavern was the classic diamond in the rough. Located north of the fork created by State Roads 89A and 179 at the bottom of Oak Creek Canyon, it served as a watering hole and community forum for locals, ranchers, cowboys, miners, loggers, artists, and tourists who would stumble in from the road. Corporate powerbrokers rubbed elbows with grizzled old ranch hands. Artists discussed their creations with ranchers and loggers. The atmosphere was friendly, boisterous, and equalitarian.
