Pioneer Yosemite History Center

Yosemite National Park


Off Wawona Rd, about 6 miles north of Mariposa Grove, you can take in the manicured grounds of the elegant Big Trees Lodge and cross a covered bridge to this rustic center, where some of the park’s oldest buildings were relocated. It also features stagecoaches that brought early tourists to Yosemite, and offers short horse-drawn stagecoach rides in summer.
