The Murer House
In the early 1920’s Giuseppe Murer built a private residence near downtown Folsom. His home was built in the classic Italian style much as homes in his native town of Crespano Del Grappo were built. This building has been declared a historic site. As such, the Club has assumed the role of pruning the roses and caring for the tier plantings as one of the primary civic improvement projects. In exchange for this on-going work, the Club has been given the privilege to use the Murer House for regular club meetings. Map shown below:

Community Garden
For many years now, Gladys Trejo has generously invited club members to her home to develop their skills producing vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Garden plots are located on her property adjacent to her home. Anyone interested in this project needs to speak directly to Gladys.
