John Muir National Historic Site

Staff were incredibly friendly and our volunteer tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, I don't think there was a question asked that he wasn't able to answer in detail from memory. Lemonade stand using lemons grown onsite was a cute touch too that made the visit memorable .

I came here for the junior ranger programm and here you can really learn about how the National Park Service was first made and how John Muir had to do with it. - What makes it sad is that the saquea tree (I don't know how to write it) is dead, but it was just a matter of the time, because the weather there is really hot and sunny.

Super fun and interesting site with a lot of information about the foundation of US National Parks. It's great to see the family history and learn what allowed John Muir to travel so extensively across the US.

My girls live collecting the Jr ranger badges. We recently went thru Yosemite, and I thought it would be fitting to go see John Muir. The store has a lot of good items for sale, some i have never seen before at other parks. There is a 20-minute informational video before you step on the grounds. Then you can do the audio self guide with your phone. Regardless of whether you have kids or not, I would recommend asking for a Jr ranger book. It has questions and asks things that provoke thought and

National Parks are a treasure of the US. This home of John Muir is like a little bit of Yosemite, since he was so connected to Yosemite and was instrumental in making it a park. There's a great movie, a nice Visitor Center and store, an interesting Victorian mansion, and a walk, which we did not have time to take. We will be back.
