John Muir National Historic Site

The 14-room Victorian mansion contains original furnishings, personal belongings, and exhibits documenting John Muir's environmental conservation work across the United States.

The residence served as John Muir's home from 1890 to 1914, during which he wrote numerous influential articles and books about nature preservation.

The site includes Mount Wanda, named after Muir's daughter, offering 326 acres of oak woodland trails that demonstrate his connection to natural landscapes.

Visitors can access ranger-guided tours of the mansion, explore the grounds independently, and participate in educational programs about conservation throughout the year.

The preserved fruit ranch and orchards reflect Muir's agricultural activities, which supported his family while he pursued his conservation advocacy work.
