Reviews of John Muir National Historic Site
"This is a great example of government spending. Honoring a wilderness advocate. Perhaps the first contemporary environmentalist. Federally protected here. Although in my heart of hearts I think he would have preferred to be buried in Yosemite national Park. Perhaps we're headache was flooded."
"Really cool historical site. Learned more about John Muir and had some fun. Even the kids enjoyed this stop. Entry is free, yes thays right I said free. There is a short movie about John Muir life and legacy as well as a guided tour. Very interesting piece of California, as well as USA history. East to find, and free entry, as well as free but small parking lot."
"Crazy how we stumbled on this returning home from visiting the Marin Headlands but here goes. I knew a little something about John Muir and his legacy including his cofounding of the Sierra Club. My university has his entire library and collection of written works which are accessible online. He got to write about his adventures and political advocacy with the comfort of the mansion, property, and his wife's family resources and friends support. I did learn more about his later years and it's interesting to think about how far he walked with what a piece of bread in his pocket from Martinez to Yosemite. He traveled to various continents. I had a blast ringing the bell!"
"So, it was very special going to the home of the father of state parks. Because of this man we have a lot of nature preserved across the country. His life was a mess but his heart was well placed. Every time I go to a state park now I'll be feeling more connected to it."
"It is a perfect place to spend a family weekend morning. Free admission and dogs allowed outside the main house and the adobe. Kids (young and older one as well) will enjoy the junior ranger quest! All together you will discover the beginning of National Park Service, you will admire John Muir and become a naturalist yourself."
