The Ingomar Club is a private club that owns and is based in the historic Carson Mansion in Eureka, California, one of the most notable examples of Victorian architecture in the United States. According to researcher Wally Graves, the club was founded "to own and maintain a club headquarters for the meetings and enjoyment of its members; to create, establish and maintain an association of gentlemen for the preservation and protection of historic 'Carson Mansion'; to promote interest among its members in athletics, yachting, golf, swimming and related activities; to promote good fellowship, and to associate together those interested in the field of fine arts, music and culture"[1] More recently, the club defines its mission as one of maintaining the historic home while providing dining and social outlets for its members.

The club is a member of the International Associate Clubs and participates in reciprocal agreements with member clubs.[2]
