Constructed in 1935 by
Frank Redford, Wigwam Village #2 consisted of 15 guest teepees,
a restaurant, gas pumps, a gift shop, and restroom teepees labeled
braves and squaws. Roadsideamerica.com incorrectly reports that
this was the first of Mr. Redford's Wigwams. As its name implies,
it was the second, and there are fifteen teepees not fourteen.
In all, seven Wigwam
Villages were built making the idea a pioneer in standard design
and an early chain using a franchising model. However the concept
lacked a corporate structure rendering it unable to survive as
more than a curiosity after its founder died.
